New research suggests that improving neighborhoods can have long-term effects on upward economic mobility and reducing inequality. At the same time, many communities are struggling with the challenge of providing affordable housing in urban neighborhoods seeing significant reinvestment. This session examines potential policies that cultivate an inclusive approach to economic growth and revitalization while maintaining affordability and social fabric for low and middle income families. Experts in housing, economic, and community development explore the question of whether we can grow our way to better and more equitable neighborhoods.

Panelists:

• Emily Badger, reporter The Washington Post (moderator)
• Paul A. Jargowsky, professor of Public Policy, Rutgers University
• Renee Glover, J. Ronald Terwilliger Foundation
• Shelley Poticha, director, Urban Solutions, Urban Program, Natural Resources Defense Council
