Abstract:
N.C. State has expanded student housing into an area near the neighborhood of Stanhope in Raleigh. The large housing complex is incongruous with a housing plan created by community members in 1999. Stanhope denizens originally planned to integrate student housing with members of the community to create a \"urban village\" with more diverse housing options and locally owned businesses but instead the university has erected large dorm-like housing for the growing student population.

Abstract:
An interview with a former Clinton and Obama administrations housing official revealed a perception balancing optimism and realism. He suggests cities can generate progress through initiatives such as infrastructure growth from a responsible management of public assets. Progress can be assured in cities, he believes, by investing in these areas: innovation, infrastructure, and inclusion. As for the growing urban-rural divide, Katz proposes it can be overcome by intermediaries between what he called the core city and rural periphery.

Abstract:
The linear park, initiated by the Mecklenburg County Greenway Master Plan, currently covers 47 miles of trails and wildlife habitat. Motives to stretch mileage to 95 miles by 2030 include younger workforce segments wanting connectivity and businesses wanting to build around the greenway. Incentives include a positive impact on individuals’ health and the metro’s economic health. Statistics attesting the impact already made include a 600% population growth since 1998 and 5.1 million square feet of office space planned or under construction in central Charlotte.
