Abstract
The second environmental symposium sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was hosted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Moderator, Robert Fisher, general counsel and senior mediator of RESOLVE, a nonprofit dispute resolution organization, outlined the symposium's objectives:
- To discuss the issue of environmental regulation and affordable housing thoroughly, candidly, and constructively.
- To try to understand the various perspectives of the symposium participants.
- To develop constructive suggestions about ways to deal with those issues.
The morning session began with summaries of the two background papers by their authors, followed by a discussion of issues raised in the papers and other issues the participants deemed important. The afternoon session focussed on suggesting strategies to resolve these issues.
