Building Inclusive Cities: Immigration and Neighborhood Change in Detroit Webinar
August 19, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Join Detroit Future City this Thursday at 1:00 p.m. for a webinar about our new report, “Building Inclusive Cities: Immigration and Neighborhood Change in Detroit.” Conducted with Alan Mallach and Data Driven Detroit, the report details a two-year study of the impacts of rapid immigration growth in two Detroit neighborhoods: Banglatown/East Davison Village and Chadsey Condon.
Eva Millona, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Partnership and Engagement, will provide opening remarks about the contributions that immigrants make to America and the importance of supporting their integration and engaging communities.
After the Assistant Secretary’s remarks, report authors Steve Tobocman (executive director, Global Detroit) and Alan Mallach (senior fellow, Center for Community Progress) will speak with Detroit Future City CEO Anika Goss about the study, which shows that welcoming and supporting immigrants is a concrete, highly effective strategy to stabilize and revitalize disinvested neighborhoods with tangible benefits to both new and long-term residents.
