 ract:\nOur cities are changing. Around the world\, more and more money is 
 being invested in buildings and land. Real estate is now a $217 trillion d
 ollar industry\, worth thirty-six times the value of all the gold ever min
 ed. It forms sixty percent of global assets\, and one of the most powerful
  people in the world—the president of the United States—made his name 
 as a landlord and developer. In his book Capital City\, Samuel Stein show
 s that this explosive transformation of urban life and politics has been d
 riven not only by the tastes of wealthy newcomers\, but by the state-led p
 rocess of urban planning. Planning agencies provide a unique window into t
 he ways the state uses and is used by capital\, and the means by which urb
 an renovations are translated into rising real estate values and rising re
 nts. Capital City explains the role of planners in the real estate state
 \, as well as the remarkable power of planning to reclaim urban life. In t
 his talk\, Stein will summarize the main arguments in his book\, and lead 
 a discussion about the ways planners and activists alike can chart an alte
 rnative pathway forward.\nAbout Samual Stein:\nSamuel Stein is a geography
