Urban Action Lab is a semester long class that provides students with first hand experience within the field of real estate and urban action, working on projects that advance affordable housing and access to opportunity. Students pursue research projects in partnership with mission driven organizations from across the City of Boston. Each project is completed in collaboration with a partner organization and are selected based on their potential for high-impact contribution to the organization. Project components include research, evaluation, interviewing, and writing. Students will work in close collaboration with partner agencies and fellow students. The class will meet once per week and will occasionally require students to attend meetings off-campus.
