Join us for a discussion about housing’s role in driving urban development over the last several decades and what local partnerships and solutions look like today. Using a newly released book by Lizabeth Cohen, Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age, as a launch point, our conversation will bring together DC-based housing and development practitioners and policymakers to discuss how they work together to catalyze housing as a tool for equitable and effective urban redevelopment.
