Syracuse in focus (SIF)

Urban advocate, author and professor Edward Glaeser spoke yesterday at the Maxwell School on the campus of Syracuse University.

City living advocate Edward Glaeser visited yesterday and spoke about the joys and pains of cities.  He advocated that cities are great places to be poor and great places to be rich at the same time.  During his book signing, he was overheard telling one member of the Syracuse community that despite the success of  Triumph of the City, his next book will probably be more of an academic versus a popular text.
