Investing in Transformative Systems Change: A Call for Racial Equity
Hecht, Ben (2018-10)
Today?s community development field can trace its roots back to the War on Poverty of the 1960s, when we, as a nation, rallied around a bold vision that we could and would conquer poverty. The growing field was driven by a clear theory of change: If you could transform the built environment, neighborhood by neighborhood, you would dramatically improve the well-being of a significant portion of the nation?s low-income people

Barriers to Rural Investment
Corcoran, Emily Waverling (2024-12-05)
Investment is a critical part of any healthy, growing economy, but the geography of investment can be uneven.

Introducing, Understanding, and Using the ICI 300 Peer Cities Identification Tool
Longworth, Susan; O'Dell, Mark; George, Taz (2016)
Municipalities, especially those that are mid-sized or smaller, often face significant challenges in providing services and amenities to meet the needs of their diverse and changing populations. Solutions are usually context-specific and must factor in larger demographic and economic trends, in order to be effective. And, yet, in spite of contextual differences, cities frequently have meaningful similarities. However, identifying peer cities is often informed more by conversation than by data or evidence.

The Housing Market and Its Influences
Smith, Marvin M. (2014-07)
The housing market influences our economic and social well-being. It serves as a prime mover of overall economic activity, the foundation for wealth creation, and the basis for the landscape of our neighborhoods as well as the dynamic relationship between cities (particularly older ones) and suburbs. The recent downturn in the housing market generated changes in its aforementioned influences. It also fostered changes in the regulatory environment in the mortgage market. These topics were discussed at the 2014 Reinventing Older Communities conference.

Anchors Aweigh: Why Do Anchor Institutions Matter?
Chakrabarti, Prabal (2012-10)
In many cities, the expectation of civic leadership from a few large corporations headquartered downtown has ebbed. Instead, cities are looking to nonprofit anchor institutions, such as universities, hospitals, and museums, to support economic development and other goals.
