Hi, I'm Julian Hartman, an urban and economic geographer, map-maker, and ALI postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University's Department of City and Regional Planning.
I'm working on a project analyzing how the urban core of the Boston region has remade itself into a hub of innovation in response to the suburban tech boom around Route 128, and how this shift has intersected with university-led urban development, racial exclusion, and radical social movements.
As a scholar, I am broadly interested in:
Universities, hospitals and urban renewal
Industrial restructuring and uneven development
Entreprenurial ecosystems
The historical geographies of racial capitalism
