The Pratt Center for Community Development was featured in a post on urban manufacturing. Adam Friedman, Director, Pratt Center, was quoted on urban manufacturing and how it is made more effective by research, funding, and on-the-job training as well as on the Center's collaboration with SFMade, a non-profit that supports manufacturing companies located in San Francisco, on a national urban manufacturing alliance called The Urban Manufacturing Alliance.
The Pratt Center for Community Development leverages professional skills–especially planning, architecture, and public policy–to support community-based organizations in their efforts to improve neighborhood quality of life, attack the causes of poverty and inequality, and advance sustainable development.
