Title: Urban Fellows Gain Experience And Knowledge on Best Practices In Urban Redevelopment Through the CUREx Program
Author: Patrizi Associates

This is the final report of an evaluation conducted by Patrizi Associates of the Center for Urban Redevelopment Excellence at the University of Pennsylvania (CUREx) program. Over three years, key participants in the fellowship program were followed to understand the impact the placements had on the individual’s career goals; host organizations; and, the field-at-large. The program showed mixed results with smaller nonprofits benefiting more than more established redevelopment firms. Although fellows reported satisfaction with their placements for the most part, the program has yet to demonstrate whether they will become leaders in the field.
