Itinerary

  • Tuesday, October 1 Day 1

      Equity Planning in the Divided City: The Gentrification Conundrum
      2nd Annual Norman Krumholz Future of Urban Planning Lecture Series
      Roberta Steinbacher Atrium
      Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs
      1717 Euclid Avenue
      Cleveland, OH 44115

      Gentrification presents a conundrum for equity planners: it is bringing badly needed investment and residents into cities but at the same time it threatens to displace low-income families by raising rents. How should equity planners respond? The key is to understand that we live in an age of simultaneous de-urbanization and re-urbanization – decentralization and recentralization. We cannot understand one without the other and it is the job of equity planners to link the two. Register here.
