Research Agenda

The Furman Center’s research examines the impact various forms of land use regulation, real estate development and other public and private place-based investments have upon the affordability and character of surrounding neighborhoods. Below is a list of our current projects (PDF version). 

Some of these projects are done in coordination with the What Works Collaborative, a foundation-sponsored partnership of several research organizations. More information about the What Works Collaborative, can be found here
