The goal of this three-part series is to further stimulate conversation among those working to expand opportunity in low-income neighborhoods and those thinking and acting at regional levels. We aim to introduce more “concreteness” to the regional discussion, and to introduce to the neighborhood discussion deeper thinking about connections to regions.

Foreclosures have hit inner city, suburban, and exurban neighborhoods alike. What does this pattern of distress portend for future development patterns throughout regions? Has the exurban development model failed? Has the foreclosure crisis erased all the gains that city lower-income neighborhoods have made in recent years? Many cities are investing in new or substantially upgraded rail corridors. Do these improvements promise to bring new investment into previously distressed neighborhoods? What do patterns of demographic change, including immigration or the entry of new age cohorts into the home buying market portend for patterns of regional development?

This panel will explore ways in which neighborhoods within metropolitan areas are linked to one another through flows of population and investment from neighborhood to neighborhood, and how regional policymakers and community developers can work together to influence these flows to produce better neighborhoods and regions. New data tabulations that explore some of the inter- and intra-metropolitan differences in housing markets will help provide a framework for both the national and regional discussions.

The Connecting to Markets seminar series is co-sponsored by the Institute for Comprehensive Community Development, the Urban Institute, and the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. The seminars bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the role of neighborhoods in the context of metropolitan area markets.
