Description: The Buell Center initiative on public housing was launched in 2008. The Buell hypothesis follows up on that initiative and includes the results of three years of work by an interdisciplinary team of researchers.  It translates technical analysis into cultural terms, to show how the assumptions underlying urban and economic policies and practices in the United States might be changed.
