San Francisco Harper Lecture: The Kind of Problem a City Is

Featuring Luis M. Bettencourt, the Pritzker Director of the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation

Cities are powerful drivers of human development and economic growth. As such, they create open-ended complexities that may be examined from a variety of perspectives. In this talk, Luis M. Bettencourt, director of the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation at the University of Chicago, will develop the case for the interdisciplinary study of cities as a nexus for many classical fields in the sciences and the humanities, emphasizing new opportunities for the University to lead transformative research and practice that address global challenges of sustainability and livability in cities.
