Cleveland's Downtown Rebound?



Richey Piiparinen - M.A., M.U.P.D.D., Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University
Friday September 7, 2012
12:30-1:30 p.m.
***Special Location: Baker-Nord Room, Clark Hall-Room 206***
Case Western Reserve University


Dear Colleagues:

Downtown Cleveland and the surrounding neighborhoods are growing faster than the outer ring suburbs and the rest of Cuyahoga County for the first time in decades.

Current residents of these central neighborhoods are of a disproportionately young-age--21-34.

What is the source of this growth in neighborhoods like the Warehouse District and Ohio City? Can it be sustained as the people who move in start thinking about having children and educating them? Richey Piiparinen has been studying the trendline over 70 years of central neighborhoods. He will talk about what his work suggests about prospects for downtown, and how policies can encourage or solidify this “infill of the inner core”.

All best regards,
Joe White
Luxenberg Family Professor of Public Policy and Director, Center for Policy Studies

Where We Meet

The Friday Public Affairs Lunch convenes each Friday when classes are in session, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. We usually meet in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library. The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. Occasionally we need to use a different room; that will always be announced in the weekly e-mails. This week's venue is on the second floor of Clark Hall. There is an entrance that faces Bellflower Road. Participants who do not want to climb stairs should use the alternate entrance that is on the right-hand side of the building as you face it from Bellflower, and take the elevator to the second floor.

Parking Possibilities

The most convenient parking for the Dampeer Room location is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center) For Clark Hall, the parking lot at the corner of Euclid and Ford is about as close. We regret that construction has eliminated the street parking on Bellflower.

Internet Piracy and the Constitution

2012 Constitution Day Program, A Discussion With, Mark Avsec, J.D., Partner, Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff LLP, and Adjunct Professor of Law at CWRU and Raymond Ku, J.D., Professor of Law and the Co-Director of Center for Law, Technology and the Arts at CWRU, Monday September 17, 2012, 4:30-6p.m., Moot Courtroom (A59), Case Western Reserve University School of Law, 11075 East Blvd, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. Sponsored by the Office of the President, Office of Government and Community Relations, Cleveland Institute of Art, Center for Policy Studies, and the School of Law.

Over the past decade, disputes about intellectual property and piracy on the internet have become steadily more prominent. In October 2011, the House Judiciary Committee introduced the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). With its bipartisan sponsors, the bill proposed anti-piracy measures allowing the U.S. Department of Justice and intellectual property owners to exercise control over websites facilitating copyright infringement. In the Senate, the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) introduced additional methods for the government and copyright holders to protect against counterfeit goods domestically and abroad. Given protests and an unprecedented internet blackout, voting on the bills was suspended. However, a third bill intended to protect against cyber threats, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), passed in the House of Representatives in April 2012.

The Constitution Day 2012 forum will examine constitutional questions raised by internet piracy, proposed legislation to regulate the internet, copyright law, and other issues related to intellectual property. It will include perspectives from the speakers, questions from a CWRU student panel, and audience participation.
