Lack of connectivity between jobs and affordable housing has a significant impact on regional economic development. The Brookings Institution ranked Atlanta 91st out of the largest 100 metro areas in terms of share of accessible jobs via public transit, and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) found that there was a spatial mismatch of jobs and housing in the metro region and further has included Hartsfield as one of the regional centers. With focus on Atlanta’s Aerotropolis, this webinar will spotlight research by Georgia Tech’s College of Design and School of Aerospace Engineering on how to bridge the spatial mismatch between low-income employees at the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and the broader Aerotropolis Atlanta Community Improvement Districts (AACIDs) through improved public transportation. An overview of this unique collaboration and its outcomes, as the result of fostering partnerships with community stakeholders (such as the AACIDs, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, MARTA, and members of the surrounding municipalities) will be addressed.
