The Future of the Core of the Washington D.C. Region

The District of Columbia has recovered from its financial crisis, its downtown is being transformed, and substantial neighborhood development is underway. But the city—and many of its older suburbs—still face major challenges in revitalizing commercial and residential areas in economic and physical decline. At this Forum, city and regional leaders will engage in a dialogue about the economic future of the core of this rapidly developing region—both inside and outside the District line—and how best to ensure the health and vitality of that core.
