In an effort to offer meaningful educational exchanges between Fulbright grantees, One To World will continue its ongoing series where Fulbright scholars will have a platform to share their research to Fulbright student and scholar attendees. For this session, we are opening the event up to any others who may be interested in attending!

At our second session of the 2021-2022 academic year, Our presenter will be Fulbright scholar, Glyn Robbins from the United Kingdom, who will share his research on real estate development in New York (particularly the Bronx), and its effects on the community.

In March 2018, the City of New York, in the face of strong community opposition, approved the re-zoning (i.e. change of land use regulations) for Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, a two-mile corridor starting at Yankee Stadium and ending near Fordham University. Local people were concerned this would lead to the type of unaffordable housing, job losses and cultural shifts that have affected other parts of New York and many other cities.

The COVID pandemic delayed some of the potential changes, but now they seem to be gathering speed. LSE Visiting Fellow Glyn Robbins, currently in the Bronx as a Fulbright Scholar attached to CUNY Graduate Center, has recorded a significant upsurge of new development along Jerome Avenue, possibly confirming local residents' worst fears.

At this talk, Glyn will present his provisional research findings and inviting discussion about what the Jerome Avenue experience may tell us about the future of cities.

The session will end with a Q & A.
