DESCRIPTION:Constructions of Community in the Era of the Innovation Distric
 t: The Case of West Philadelphia\n\nOne of the biggest trends in contempora
 ry urban economic development is the campus-adjacent Innovation District\, 
 an endeavor in which higher education institutions are crucial partners. Th

 niversity City neighborhood to unpack innovation districts' economic and so
 cial logics and to compare today's university-investor partnerships with th
 ose of the Urban Renewal era. The talk also highlights alternative construc
 tions of community advanced by organized residents of neighborhoods adjacen
 t to innovation-themed development.\n\nBIO\n\nLaura Wolf-Powers is Professo
