Overview
• Recent research on economic mobility—place
matters!
• Where is the land of opportunity?
• How does a place affect earnings?
• Case study—how a community in Southern
Nevada has worked to influence these factors.
• Why is diversity and inclusion important to
economic mobility and what can planners do to
support it?
