The
Special Program for Urban and Regional Studies of Developing Areas
(SPURS) is a non-degree program established in 1967 in the MIT
Department of Urban Studies and Planning by Professor Lloyd
Rodwin, financed in part with a grant in international studies from
the Ford Foundation. It provides an opportunity for students to
spend a year at MIT studying the problems of urban and regional
changes within a broad context of national development.
