Small Legacy Cities, Equity, and a Changing Economy

Eileen Divringi, Community Development Research Analyst, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, will present the primary conclusions of "Small Legacy Cities, Equity, and a Changing Economy," a report completed by a group of graduate students from the University of Pennsylvania's Department of City and Regional Planning in spring 2014. With the Federal Reserve's Department of Community Development Studies and Education acting as client, the students were tasked with evaluating the extent to which economic revitalization strategies in Wilmington, DE, Lancaster, PA, and Bethlehem, PA had led to equitable outcomes for low- and moderate-income residents. The report also presents city-specific recommendations and proposes a framework for integrating equity as a strategic priority into local economic development efforts.
