Lance Freeman Biography

Lance Freeman is the Penn Integrates Knowledge (PIK) Professor of City and Regional Planning, and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Neighborhoods are what fascinate him and motivate his research. He studies how neighborhoods change and evolve over time, and the role neighborhoods play in people’s lives. He explores how we can use social media and other new technologies as tools to study neighborhoods. His study of neighborhoods aims to learn how we can use this knowledge to plan and build better and more equitable places.

Freeman has published several articles in refereed journals on issues related to gentrification, urban poverty, housing policy, urban sprawl, the relationship between the built environment and public health, and residential segregation. His books include "There Goes the Hood: Views of Gentrification from the Ground Up," "A Haven and a Hell: The Ghetto in Black America," and "Planning and Control of Land Development."

Prior to beginning his academic career, Freeman worked as a researcher for Mathematica Policy Research, a leading social science research organization in Washington, D.C. Professor Freeman also has professional planning experience, working as a City Planner for the New York City Housing Authority.
