New York University’s Furman Center released a report titled Gentrification Response: A Survey of Strategies to Maintain Neighborhood Economic Diversity that reviews local strategies to preserve affordable housing, protect tenants, and maintain diversity in the face of rising rents in gentrifying areas. The report states that more housing development alone in high cost cities will not ensure economic diversity. The report describes the strategic use of city-owned land and other city resources for creating and preserving affordable housing, tenant-landlord regulations and movers’ assistance to protect lower-income tenants, and inclusionary zoning and linkage fees to harness market forces to benefit affordable housing.
