The housing crisis impacts us all, but figuring out how to fix it often feels like a tug-of-war. Some say the answer is simple: build more housing to meet demand. Others worry that new, high-cost developments could make things worse. So, how do we move forward when there’s no consensus on the underlying economics?

Heather Worthington, principal at Urban3 and former Director of Long-Range Planning in Minneapolis, offers a fresh perspective, grounded in her work on the transformative Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan which stimulated significant affordable housing development and has helped keep rents at some of the lowest rates in the country. Worthington will share strategies for balancing growth, affordability, and equity through the use of data to address the housing crisis effectively.


Childcare and interpretation will be provided. When reserving your ticket, please indicate if you need childcare or interpretation. This is a free, ticketed event that we anticipate will sell out, so we encourage you to get your ticket today!
