| About CURE The Center for Urban Real Estate (CURE) at Columbia University represents a new paradigm in real estate development research and practice, applied as a transformative and positive force. CURE identifies shares and advocates solutions for a rapidly urbanizing world. CURE redefines sustainability as dense, mixed-income, mixed-use, transit-based urban development. From climate change and energy dependence to the socioeconomic and political upheaval they engineer, CURE addresses emerging and current global issues through the lens of urbanization. Snapshot In this full-day program, explore the ways in which real estate megaprojects are transforming the world’s global capitals. Advance your understanding of the impact these projects have upon property values, transportation, economic development and urban livability by contrasting these projects with smaller, street-grid defined development projects occurring in these cities. The program includes an intensive review of a number of major projects in Manhattan, as well as select projects in London. In New York, the World Trade Center, Battery Park City and Hudson Yards will be examined. In London, the focus will be on East London and the Docklands, where a combination of Canary Wharf and the Olympics have breathed new life into a part of the city all but forgotten. These will be contrasted with successful grid-based urban redevelopment programs, including that of Times Square in Manhattan. Who Should Attend The program is designed for professionals in real estate, municipal finance and urban planning, as well as those involved in construction, engineering, and architecture.
