Focusing on the physical dimensions of inner-city community development, the symposium is the culminating event of a five-year partnership between Harvard and IIT in which students at both schools participated in joint design studios focusing on the Bronzeville community on Chicago's Near South side, a neighborhood that has undergone dramatic transformations over the the century.
