Publication June 26, 2023 Ten Ways Covid-19 Changed America’s Cities—Or Maybe Not As with every other aspect of American life, Covid-19 upended how we plan and manage cities.

Community Benefits
Publication March 1, 2023 Community Benefits In Community Benefits, Jovanna P. Rosen explores a new pattern in urban development: local residents and community representatives leveraging large-scale development projects for agreements that promise dedicated local benefits, such as parks and jobs. In general, such development projects have not produced impactful benefits for local residents, and often have contributed to significant community harm, including gentrification and displacement.

Nation's Metropolis
Publication January 1, 2023 Nation's Metropolis Nation’s Metropolis describes how the national capital region functions as a metropolitan political economy. Its authors distinguish aspects of the Washington region that reflect its characteristics as a national capital from those common to most other metropolitan regions and to other capitals. To do so, they employ an interdisciplinary approach that draws from economics, political science, sociology, geography, and history.  Royce Hanson Harold Wolman
Publication December 1, 2022 Policy Brief: How Remote Work is Affecting Real Estate Markets Work from home (wfh) disrupted real estate markets globally during the pandemic and continues to do so. Geographic shifts in the use of space are already causing a repricing of commercial and residential real estate.
