Third Annual Urban Poverty Paper Competition Now Open!

We are pleased to announce the third annual paper competition on Urban Poverty.

To encourage a new generation of urban policy makers and promote early career research, USAID’s Urban Programs Team, International Housing Coalition (IHC), World Bank, Woodrow Wilson Center’s Comparative Urban Studies Project (CUSP), and Cities Alliance are co-sponsoring a third annual paper competition. The competition seeks paper submissions for an upcoming policy workshop and paper competition on urban poverty in the developing world. Winning papers will be published and selected authors will present their papers in a policy workshop to be held in Washington, D.C. in October 2012. The grand prize winner will also present at the World Urban Forum in September, 2012 in Naples, Italy.

Papers must address one of the following three sub-topics: Land Markets, Climate Change, or Youth. For more information please read the full Call for Papers, which is attached to this announcement.
