Washington, DC's Ambitious Plan to Distribute Affordable Housing More Equitably
By Liz Farmer
Enero 2020, inglés
When Washington, DC, officials unveiled a major report on housing equity last fall, they did so at an unassuming, one-story bike shop located in the city’s posh Tenleytown neighborhood. This quiet district of single-family homes lies seven miles northwest of the Capitol, and the location was meant to send a message: the shop was […]

By Emma Zehner
Enero 2020, inglés

President’s Message
When Theory and Practice Part
Enero 2020, inglés
I’m still recovering from studying graduate-level economics, where the going wisdom was that certain challenges are insoluble. An early lesson, for example, was that no voting system can reliably reach the “right decision” that satisfies a set of basic principles. Nobel laureate Kenneth Arrow showed that no voting method is fair, and that the […]

Cities Are Investing in Green Infrastructure—Should Developers Help Foot the Bill?
Enero 2020, inglés
Like many coastal cities, Miami is facing a climate future that is already here. Even without a major storm, seawater has been washing over the streets and bubbling up from bathtub drains, a harbinger of what’s to come when a projected two feet of sea-level rise invades the low-lying, porous land of South Florida […]

How Municipalities Are Navigating the Changing Retail Landscape
By Gregory Scruggs
