Great Neighborhoods, Great City: Revitalizing Baltimore Through the Healthy Neighborhoods Approach (2001)

This paper outlines the Healthy Neighborhoods strategy, which focuses on stabilizing “neighborhoods in the middle” by strengthening housing markets and rebuilding resident confidence rather than relying on large subsidies or crisis-driven interventions. It argues that targeted market support, homeowner investment, and social cohesion can prevent disinvestment and sustain mixed-income neighborhoods critical to Baltimore’s long-term vitality.
