Mend the Gap: Ending Economic Inequality
Cities possess the power to either eliminate economic disparities or exacerbate them. Ensuring that people have a path to economic mobility is a top priority for cities, but also a major challenge especially given that one of the most significant barriers to economic opportunity is the lack of access to quality, affordable housing. Reversing and repairing long-standing policies that have limited economic prosperity should be a key tenet of future cities. This session will explore how cities can reduce income and wealth inequality and boost economic opportunity for all.
