Recently ’61 DCRP alumnus Jay Chatterjee returned to Carolina Planning to give a talk and meet with our students.  During his stay, students were fortunate to hear his feedback on their ULI Hines Competition presentation. The ULI Hines, is a national design competition, involves multidisciplinary teams of students that propose visionary development programs for a real site in a North American urban core.
