Stanley James Hallett (October 6, 1930 – November 24, 1998) was an American urban planner and specialist in urban community development who helped seed numerous innovative initiatives and organizations throughout his career. With the bulk of his professional work taking place in Chicago, Hallett began by working in church civil rights and later turned increasingly toward community economic and environmental sustainability. He and colleagues together created Chicago's Center for Neighborhood Technology, South Shore Bank (later ShoreBank), Northwestern University's Center for Urban Affairs and Policy Research and other institutions. During his career he worked alongside numerous activists, journalists and religious leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Saul Alinsky, George McGovern and Studs Terkel. One of the key concepts that Dr. Hallett would add to urban planning was the idea that there is an 'economy of neighborhoods,' Scott Bernstein, a Hallett disciple and co-founder of the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) in Chicago, told Chicago Enterprise magazine. Bernstein, who now heads CNT, said: "Most economists don't admit to an economy of cities, let alone neighborhoods. Stan saw neighborhoods as a place where money flows in and out." "What's clear to anybody who worked with Stan is that he was an immensely creative and original character," John P. Kretzmann〔()〕 told the ''Chicago Tribune'' in 1998. A senior researcher at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University where Hallett was a visiting scholar, Kretzmann said, "It's so hard to categorize his work. He never had what you'd call a career. He bounced around from being a minister to being a banker to being a civic developer to being an inventor to being a businessman. But there was a consistency to it. He was always looking for ways for a city to be more humane." ==Early life== Stan Hallett was born in New Hampton, Iowa, on October 6, 1930. His parents, Reverend Reveley and Stella Hallett, had five children: Edward, Stanley, Beverly, Thomas and David. The family moved from town to town in Iowa and finally settled in Rapid City, South Dakota. During World War II, with many young men serving military duty, Hallett began his church career preaching to a congregation in Wall, South Dakota at age 14. At a Methodist Youth Conference in Clear Lake, Iowa, Hallett roomed with future civil-rights leader ("Jim") James Lawson. The two would room together four consecutive years at this annual weeklong program. Hallett received his B.A. from Dakota Wesleyan University in 1950. In 1954, he received his S.T.B., magna cum laude, from Boston University's School of Theology. He did a photo study on the Roxbury neighborhood and became acquainted with fellow theology student Martin Luther King, Jr. Hallett was influenced by Dean Walter Muelder.〔()〕 Hallett also said of Muelder "...he was way before his time on the status of women in the church, and he had a very strong commitment to dealing with questions of race".〔 From 1957 to 1959, Hallett served as associate pastor to a church in Newark, N.J. He led a campaign against an industrial park that would displace 10,000 residents. ("You develop a special relationship with people as a pastor... And you get angry at the racism they experience. I began to probe myself at levels I didn't even know were there. I discovered that my perceptions of race were like an onion.") From 1961 to 1962, Hallett studied urban planning at Harvard University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanley Hallett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
