Programs

The Center’s programs offer opportunities for students and scholars to explore issues relating to metropolitan growth and its affect upon the built and natural environment in a wide variety of ways. They include:

• Urban Fellows Program, in which top students from across the university are selected to participate in a monthly breakfast series with top decision makers in Atlanta and the region whose work and actions have a direct impact upon our physical and built environment - from Governors and state Commissioners to County Commission Chairs, business leaders and directors of community action groups
  
  
• Foreign Study Opportunities, including the Summer Legal and Policy Study in Rio de Janeiro
  
  
• Sponsorships of regular speakers and academic symposia
  
  
• A student working papers series that makes notable student research available online to law and policy makers in Georgia and elsewhere
