Large cities like New York and Los Angeles, have experienced drastic inequalities in their urban spaces: only certain inhabitants can afford to and feel like they can use it.
The revitalization of the 45-acre Union Market district in Northeast Washington, DC., has provided a laboratory for testing practical policies and initiatives that can promote inclusive prosperity.
