Description
Place-based, holistic, community-driven redevelopment initiatives have the potential to transform neighborhoods and, therefore, transform lives. But their impact will be limited if residents are displaced or otherwise excluded from the initiatives’ benefits. What role should local policymakers play in these place-based initiatives to promote their success, ensure their inclusiveness, and prevent displacement? Initiative leaders, funders and advocates provide the answers.
