Do you conduct research on housing or urban development? Have you used administrative data to do so?


Amy O’Hara, of the Place-Based Indicators Project, within The Massive Data Institute at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy, will guest edit a special issue of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s research journal Cityscape.This special issue will inform researchers as to the various ways administrative data can help communities fill knowledge gaps and raise new findings to guide local housing policy and program design. The journal is now accepting 300-word abstracts that highlight how existing data sets can inform policy. Both domestic and international examples of administrative data informing housing and urban development policies are welcome.


Abstracts are open for submission until Friday, May 5, 2023. Please direct abstracts and inquiries to pbicityscape@georgetown.edu. Additional details can be found at the following link: http://bit.ly/3UbFSeV.
