Join LA Forward Institute’s Housing Justice Reading Group as we read our second book, Red Hot City: Housing, Race, and Exclusion in Twenty-First Century Atlanta by Dan Immergluck, with an in-person discussion about the book in the Silver Lake/Echo Park area on Sunday, October 29th at 7pm.

Dan Immergluck documents the trends that are inverting Atlanta’s late-twentieth-century “poor-in-the-core” urban model. New emphasis on capital-driven growth has excluded low-income people and families of color from the city’s center, pushing them to distant suburbs far from mass transit, large public hospitals, and other essential services. Revealing critical lessons for leaders, activists, and residents in cities around the world, Immergluck considers how planners and policymakers can reverse recent trends to create more socially equitable cities.

We will discuss the book chapter by chapter, focusing on the many parallels and relevance to our current housing landscape here in Los Angeles. Please RSVP below and we’ll send the address before the event via email.
