America’s middle class has long been the bedrock upon which rests the social and economic well-being of cities. Today, this foundation is eroding with unprecedented speed. The CAC’s expert panel reveals public and private sector actions and innovative thinking around housing and community-centered planning and development that can make a real difference on the road to inclusive urban regeneration. At the same time, there are risks of dampening investment or inducing other unintended consequences.

This program is part of the CAC’s annual series, What’s Next? Designing the Future City, exploring how business, design and government leaders can unite to make great cities.
