Cities are in a period of resurgence, gaining renewed interest from people who want to live and work in urban centers. This has resulted in gentrification pressures on a number of low- and moderate-income (LMI) neighborhoods that are in or near city centers and core business districts and historically have had modest property values.
This Connecting Communities® webinar will focus on emerging research that explores how gentrification is being defined, and its causes and impact on vulnerable residents. Two practitioners will discuss practical ways to address gentrification’s effects — including displacement — on LMI people and communities. Presenters will discuss how equitable and inclusive development policies and practices have supported commercial, residential, and transit growth and community revitalization.
