Disparities within your city may be contributing to a community where some residents lack access to the social, political and economic benefits your city offers. As a city leader, how can you make your city more inclusive? How do you ensure that everyone, regardless of race, gender or income, feels valued and a part of your city?

 

Strategies to address disparities and the resulting lack of inclusion include developing employment support strategies for the hardest to employ individuals; helping residents increase their financial stability and avoid predatory financial relationships; and creating a system of political inclusion where everyone feels heard and their opinions valued.

 

Learn from a panel of experts on some of the ways you can bring your communities together and create a city where everyone can take advantage of what your city has to offer.
