SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION:
Guided by this year's all academy theme, our panel symposium brings together a diverse set
of discussants to adress the intersections of urban entrepreneurship and socioeconomic
development policies within formal and informal economies. Each panelist focuses on the three
core questions and ideas guiding the symposium. These include discussing critically
entrepreneuring activities and social policies for the purposes of urban development, addressing
how informal activities related to entrepreneurship may take shape within formal economies
including discussion of why these activities may arise, and finally, addressing what constitutes
formal versus informal entrepreneurship activities particularly with respect to urban development
policies.
In this sense, our symposium aims to provide diverse theoretical perspectives on how the
constitution of entrepreneurship activities within urban contexts, including examples from Boston,
can be be understood with respect to development policies. By addressing these timely and
important intersections around urban entrepreneurship, we aim to provide insights as to what
constitutes successful development policies in urban settings. Ultimately, we are interested in
highlighting whether and how these policies can be replicated in other urban contexts while
recognizing the specifical formal and informal aspects of local economies.
kind regards,
Banu
