An in-depth, nonpartisan analysis of gentrification as an opportunity to make change work for everyone from a veteran architect and urban planner.

Constant transformation is a given in urban life. However, re-vitalization and growth projects can often be sources of loss and displacement for many, creating mistrust and division. But change can be used for the common good. A vision of cities that serve everyone is possible, and begins with listening, engaging, and acting towards change together.
