"Rethinking Tree Equity," a Zube Lecture Presented by James Williams

Urban tree planting initiatives are often seen as silver bullet solutions for low-income neighborhoods. Trees are great for urban environments but they can also attract investment from developers and lead to gentrification. Trees and their natural environment can be an economic base for communities.

"Considering Community Relocation After Disasters: Examples from Puerto Rico," a Zube Lecture Presented by Robert Olshansky

Disasters displace millions of people every year. After the disaster, they must decide whether to return to their homes or move elsewhere. This talk will summarize principles for planning for proposed relocations, based on dozens of cases. It will then illustrate with three examples from Puerto Rico: the federally-funded rebuild/repair/relocate program, a case of self-managed relocation by a community land trust in El Caño Martîn Peña, and an impending $300M HUD-funded community relocation program.
