Red Hot City: Housing, Race, and Exclusion in Twenty-First Century Atlanta

In recent decades, central Atlanta has experienced heavily racialized gentrification, which has pushed people with low incomes and families of color to distant suburbs far from mass transit, large public hospitals, and other essential services.  

In this talk, Dan Immergluck, a professor of urban studies at Georgia State University and author of Red Hot City: Housing, Race, and Exclusion in Twenty-First Century Atlanta, will discuss these changes and the lessons they offer for planners and policymakers in Atlanta and other rapidly growing, formerly low-cost locales.
