Barriers to Development Inside Maryland's PFAs: Perspectives of Planners, Developers, and Advocates
Authors: Casey Dawkins, Jason Sartori, and Gerrit-Jan Knaap (2012)
Report
Synopsis: This study presents a summary of stakeholder perspectives on the effectiveness of Maryland's Priority Funding Areas and barriers to growth within PFAs. It relies upon responses to a telephone survey of forty-seven representatives from three key stakeholder groups—planners, policy advocates and consultants, and developers.
Transit-Induced Gentrification: Who Will Stay, and Who Will Go?
Authors: Dawkins, Casey and R. Moeckel
Report
Synopsis: Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) has been promoted by planners and policy advocates as asolution to a variety of urban problems, including automobile traffic congestion, air pollution,and urban poverty. This paper addresses the question: How do TOD-based affordable housing policies influence the intra-urban location of low income households over time? This paper examined historical descriptive evidence along with land use forecasts generated by the Simple Integrated Land-Use Orchestrator (SILO) land use model to examine the impact of housing policies on patterns of sorting byincome within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The historical evidence suggests that inmost decades when Metro stations were opened, census tracts near transit stations saw higherincreases in median household income than other census tracts. We also find evidence thatincome growth around stations constructed in the 1970s and 1980s persisted over time, whileincome growth around stations constructed during the 1990s was largest in the following decade.Consistent with other studies (Kahn 2007), we interpret these findings as evidence that somedegree of transit-induced gentrification has been occurring in the Washington, D.C. region.
