SUMMARY:Conversations on Equity: The Role of Cities in the Pursuit of Economic Equity
DESCRIPTION:Cities are critical hubs of economic activity and opportunity\, but their growth potential in the United States has been constrained by historical policies and practices\, such as redlining and urban renewal\, as well as contemporary challenges. Understanding these structural barriers can help communities unlock opportunities for equitable growth. \n\n\n\nThe next Conversations on Equity event from the St. Louis Fed’s Institute for Economic Equity will explore how American cities can foster or inhibit economic equity. For this discussion\, Institute Director William M. Rodgers III will be joined by economist Rick McGahey\, senior fellow at the Schwartz Center and the Institute on Race\, Power and Political Economy and author of the recently published book “Unequal Cities: Overcoming Anti-Urban Bias to Reduce Inequality in the United States.” The conversation will draw on findings from that work. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn about: \n\n\n\n\n\nThe unique role that cities play in our economy\n\n\n\nHow past and current barriers have led to disparities in economic growth and mobility within American cities and between cities and their suburbs\n\n\n\nPotential strategies for encouraging more equitable economic growth\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nWilliam M. Rodgers IIIRick McGahey \n\n\n\nThis event\, which begins with a 4:30 p.m. reception prior to the discussion\, will be held in person at the St. Louis Fed. The first 50 guest to arrive will receive a copy of the book “Unequal Cities: Overcoming Anti-Urban Bias to Reduce Inequality in the United States.” \n\n\n\nParking accommodations are complimentary\, and the event is free to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, contact the St. Louis Fed’s Community Development staff at communitydevelopment@stls.frb.org. \n\n\n\nThe Conversations on Equity series features national thought leaders who are working to build awareness around obstacles to economic equity. Guests share their views on a range of topics and discuss evidence-based solutions aimed at dismantling such obstacles. \n\n\n\nPlease note: This is an in-person event only. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
