TheJoint Center for Housing Studies is a research center onhousing-related issues atHarvard Kennedy School atHarvard University inCambridge, Massachusetts. Through its research, education, and public outreach programs, the center helps leaders in government, business, and the civic sectors make decisions that effectively address the needs of cities and communities.
The center was formed in 1959 under the leadership ofMartin Meyerson, its founding director, as theHarvard–MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies, to address intellectual and policy issues confronting a nation experiencing widespread demographic, economic and social change.[1] Its research was based on the premise that the resolution of these issues called for imaginative interdisciplinary approaches to the study of urban problems and issues, and required cooperation among universities, government and industry.[2]
In 1989, a split was made from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology, and became affiliated solely with Harvard'sGraduate School of Design andHarvard Kennedy School. The center consolidated the focus on housing that had emerged during the 1970s, and changed the ending of its name from Urban Studies to Housing Studies.
An annual lecture in honor ofJohn Thomas Dunlop is administered by the Joint Center for Housing Studies.[3] Notable keynotes include:Herbert Kohler Jr. (2001);Angelo Mozilo (2002);Henry Cisneros (2003);Kim B.
