presents
Housing the Lowest Income Americans: The Past, Present and Future of 
Public Housing
Professor Lawrence J.Vale
Department Head, Department of Urban Studies and Planning
School of Architecture and Planning

Professor Vale provides an historical overview of  the government's 
role in public housing and attitudes about the nature of public 
assistance.


The MIT Alumni Association's annual Technology Day took on ethical 
issues as they related to current research at MIT.  Lectures from 
faculty at five MIT Schools were presented at the 2003 event covering 
topics such as public housing, political advertising, stem cell 
research, global economics and nanotechnology and the soldier of the 
future.  This is the first of the five lectures, look for the 
remaining ones to be presented on MIT World this summer.  Check out 
the new Alumni Association web site at http://alum.mit.edu/
