This webinar explores findings from a report from the Kinder Institute on the urban Sun Belt – covering such topics as demographic change, the economy, housing, and sprawl. A panel discussion follows the presentation
The urban Sun Belt accounts for almost half of U.S. population growth – and large metropolitan areas in the Sun Belt are dealing with a specific set of issues that are different from the rest of the country. Yet U.S. urban policy rarely takes these differences into account. This webinar explores what a Sun Belt urban policy would look like and what next steps are needed to move toward creating that urban policy.
