CUP in the news

In case you missed it, CUP was recently featured in articles in the New York Times (http://www.camwood.org/the_nyt_critics_notebook.html), where art critic Holland Cotter called our project Jamaica Big Up “guardedly utopian,” and Metropolis magazine, where Stephen Zacks described our work as “balanc[ing] an interest in the aesthetic qualities of urban experience with a more pragmatic and rigorous approach that aspires to produce verifiable data with public policy implications and demonstrable consequences.”
