Equity as the New Model for Growth: How Three Regions are Innovating

Speakers: Ramon Leon, Executive Director, Latino Economic Development Corporation; Allen Fernandez Smith, President & CEO, Urban Habitat; Pamela Hurtt, Senior Consultant, New Economy Initiative for Southeast Michigan

Tomorrow’s successful regions will be those that adopt equity-driven growth strategies, creating greater opportunities for residents left behind after the past few decades of unequal growth. Doing so means squarely addressing race: in many metros, the majority of residents are people of color, yet Latinos, African Americans, Native Americans and other racial/ethnic groups continue to face stark barriers to economic participation and success. A handful of regions are taking bold steps to integrate equity into their economic development pursuits. This session highlights three of them: Detroit’s New Economy Initiative, which is implanting inclusion strategies into its small business accelerators focused on high-tech companies, anchor institutions, and neighborhood-serving businesses; the Twin Cities’ “Everybody In” effort to reduce the region’s high racial disparities in employment; and the Bay Area’s sustainable communities strategy to connect the region’s low-income communities and communities of color to its high-growth industries.

A New Heart for Houston

Speakers: Robert D. Yaro, Executive Director, Regional Plan Association; Jane Thompson, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Patap Talwar, Principal, Thompson Design Group; Anne Olson, Director, Buffalo Bayou Partnership; Harry L. Dodson, Principal, Dodson Associates

Realizing the need to improve the city's quality of life, Houston's leaders decided to restore the polluted and neglected river running through the center of the city. The Buffalo Bayou Partnership, a non-profit advocacy group, was formed to implement the river restoration project. The Partnership led a wide range of citizens, advocacy groups and neighborhood representatives to develop a plan for the river's revival and its incorporation with the surrounding urban fabric. As a result, a new regional park—one of the largest landscape reclamation projects in the country—is being created as the new heart of America's 4th largest city.
