A report released by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau indicated that in the first 11 months of 1998, more new homes were sold than in any entire year in history. According to the report, builders sold 823,000 new homes between January and November, breaking the previous record of 819,000 new home sales which was established in 1977. New home sales for the first 11 months of the year exceeded 1997 figures by 9 percent. If the same pace continued into December, it was estimated that builders will have sold roughly 875,000 homes in 1998. The report ... noted that sales of new homes in November increased 8 percent above October figures, to exceed every month on record on a seasonally adjusted annual basis. Cuomo projected that the national homeownership rate could attain its highest point in history in 1998.

The Professional Certificate Program is focused on the public/private urban development agenda. Current local and national projects provide the lessons for the coursework. Case study, speakers, and simulations are some of the methods employed to explain the guiding principles of urban development. Readings highlight significant technical and historical perspectives. The heart of the program, though, is discussion and direct contact with professionals active in urban development - Urban developers, public officials, design professionals, lawyers, planners and community members. More than "how to," the curriculum is designed to present the right questions for consideration.
