Description
Let’s look together at cities that are making strides in expanding transit without causing displacement to existing residents and businesses. How? With context-specific approaches, time-tested anti-displacement strategies and by investing in stabilizing local people and places as part of the planning stages of rail expansion. Investment in people is harder than investment in development. We’ll learn what’s working – and not – as these locations try to capture the momentum of new transit investment for the benefit of historically disinvested communities or those struggling with affordability.
