Larry Vale on the Campbell Conversations

On this episode of the Campbell Conversations, we bring you another conversation as part of an intermittent series on the tearing down of I-81 in Syracuse and the rebuilding and redevelopment of its on-the-ground footprint. Grant Reeher speaks with Larry Vale, Ford Professor of Urban Design and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He's also the author of, "Purging the Poorest: Public Housing and the Design Politics of Twice-Cleared Communities".

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
