Summary
A region’s economic growth potential depends critically on the availability of a sufficient supply of housing for workers—in the right places, of the right types and at the right prices and rents. Lisa Sturtevant will present results from a study of employment-driven housing demand in the Washington DC metro area (for the 2012-2032 period) and will discuss the relationships among job growth, housing planning, and transportation investment.
