city's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the next five years. There’s
an emphasis on collaboration and inclusivity, the plan focuses on four key strategies: breaking
down barriers and fostering collaboration, investing strategically in people and places, leveraging
Baltimore's strengths for economic growth, and addressing competitive imbalances. The
overarching goals include building an equitable economy, leading in key industries, nurturing
innovation and small businesses, strengthening the workforce, increasing the city's population,
supporting equitable neighborhood development, and recovering stronger from COVID-19. The
report aims to create an inclusive and vibrant economy for all residents by eliminating disparities
and fostering growth.
A Portrait of Baltimore: Results of the 2023 Baltimore Area Survey. (2023, December).
Johns Hopkins 21st Century Cities Initiatives. https://21cc.jhu.edu/a-portrait-of-
baltimore-results-of-the-2023-baltimore-area-survey/
This inaugural Baltimore Area Survey, co-designed by Johns Hopkins researchers in
collaboration with community leaders, aims to explore issues crucial to the residents of the city
and county. The survey of 1,352 participants, conducted by mail, highlighted disparities between
Black and white residents. Black respondents are more likely to fear the police, experience
hunger, and face transportation challenges. Food insecurity is prevalent, affecting one in five
respondents, with a significant racial gap—half of Black respondents suffer compared to 15% of

whites. Police fear disproportionately impacts Black residents, while transportation issues disrupt
the lives of Black respondents twice as much as whites. The survey also delves into drug
addiction, neighborhood satisfaction, and public trust, providing valuable insights into the
community's experiences and perspectives.
Baltimore celebrates historic 20% drop in homicides even as gun violence remains high.
(2024, January 5). AP News. https://apnews.com/article/baltimore-homicides-decrease-
2023-d88000d65d3916d1fbbe6352becd8881
In a significant development, Baltimore recorded fewer than 300 homicides in 2023 for
the first time in almost a decade, marking a 20% annual decrease. The decline in violent crime is
attributed to comprehensive anti-violence efforts, including law enforcement initiatives and
community support. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott emphasized the success of the city's
violence strategy, treating gun violence as a public health crisis. The reduction coincides with
court-ordered police reform measures and a drop in unconstitutional arrests. While the decrease
in homicides is celebrated, officials acknowledge the need for continued efforts, emphasizing
that police alone cannot solve the issue. Community leaders also stress the importance of
addressing the root causes of violence, particularly in impoverished neighborhoods. Despite the
positive trend, families affected by violence express that more needs to be done to meet the needs
of marginalized communities.

collaborative effort for equitable economic development in neighborhoods with high vacant
property rates. PFM Group Consulting LLC and PFM Financial Advisors LLC were engaged for
financial and economic analysis. Key consensus areas include a transformative investment goal
of at least $3.0 billion in public and philanthropic funds, leveraging nearly $5.0 billion in private
investment. This initiative, spanning 15 years, aims to create returns through economic benefits
and community improvements. PFM's review of existing plans and financial analyses informed
the strategy development, incorporating input from various stakeholders and experts.

This article analyzes emerging patterns and trends in local economies at sub-national
levels, extending discussions from the UK and Western Europe to include the USA, Australia,
and Japan. The primary focus is on theoretical approaches explaining changing patterns and
trends in local economies. A forthcoming review will outline major policy initiatives in local
economic development (LED) in Western Europe and North America since the 1980s, comparing
them to UK initiatives. The present review highlights a crisis in urban economic development in
the UK, with a historic reversal of the trend of wealth polarization and decentralization. Studies
show increased deprivation, especially in conurbations, despite the general reduction in
unemployment during the late 1980s.

Neighborhood Indicators Alliance. (2018). Bniajfi.org. https://bniajfi.org/evaluation-of-
the-baltimore-city-vacants-to-value-program/
The City of Baltimore initiated the Vacants to Value (V2V) program in 2010 to address
vacant properties through code enforcement. A 2015 evaluation by the Center for Community
Progress, BNIA-JFI, and the Schaefer Center analyzed V2V's impact. Vacancies persisted
citywide, but V2V altered market dynamics in treatment areas. The 2010 V2V cohort showed
greater improvements in reducing vacant house notices and boosting median sales prices. In
areas with high development activity, V2V aligned with reduced vacancies and increase prices,
but in less developed areas, its impact was limited. The conversion of vacant properties
positively affected assessed values and taxable revenues.

In 2015, Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African American, died a week after being arrested
and injured in police custody in Baltimore, MD. His death led to protests, turning violent on the
day of his funeral, with fires, looting, and injured police officers. Gray's death was ruled a
homicide, and all six involved officers were swiftly charged on May 1, 2015. The speed of
charges is attributed to media attention and protests. This high school lesson delves into the case,

The article explores the intricate relationships between city governments and the broader
politico-economic landscape, emphasizing the constraints and influences that shape urban
development policies. The central argument in the article is that within American history, the
interactions of major components within the liberal-democratic political economy have given
rise to three distinct eras of urban development politics. Each era is characterized by different
strategies for promoting urban development and varying political arenas for policy
determination. The article discusses the evolving obstacles to popular control of economic
development policies, which, in turn, limit opportunities for community choice and democratic
governance. Specific attention is given to the post-1930 period, marked by significant political
and economic changes leading to a postindustrial pattern, including the deconcentrating of
businesses and population and the decline of political machines. Lastly, the article notes the
emergence of local business incentive programs after 1930.

Maryland Code, Title 14, Subtitle 5, Section 14-501 defines terms related to land trusts
for affordable housing. An "affordable housing land trust" is an entity providing affordable
housing to low and moderate-income families, operated by a nonprofit organization or a
governmental unit. The "affordable housing land trust agreement" establishes the trust's
preemptive right to purchase or repurchase property, restricting transfers and ensuring
affordability. "Family" is defined as a household, with "low-income" families earning up to 80%
of the area median income, and "moderate-income" families earning up to 140%. "Nonprofit
status" refers to IRS recognition of the land trust's tax-exempt status under specific sections of
the Internal Revenue Code.

The article discusses the critical considerations in urban and territorial planning
processes, emphasizing two key factors. Firstly, the influence of pressure groups on decision-
making processes shaping specific policies and, secondly, the potential impact of planning on
various social dynamics, with blurred lines between costs and benefits. Employing economic
analysis tools, the contribution focuses on revealing hidden costs associated with urban and
territorial planning, including transaction, operational, and assessment costs. The analysis
acknowledges the positive aspects of planning in safeguarding public goods and ensuring
competitive markets. However, it warns against excessive or misused planning, highlighting
11

associated drawbacks such as unnecessary costs, corruption, injustice, economic stagnation, and
governmental inefficiency. The author advocates for an improved planning system, incorporating
a more complex decision-making process that involves participation, monitoring, and evaluation
to minimize public institution costs and deter opportunistic behavior.

The article investigates the interplay between a city government's jurisdictional capacity
(its ability to plan and implement policy) and its interactions with diverse governance actors in
large-scale urban development projects. The locations discussed include Hamburg, Manchester,
and Pittsburgh, analyzing composition of governance actors at national, regional, and local
levels, encompassing public, private, and civic entities. The research contends that varying
jurisdictional capacities, linked to multilevel distributions of state power, shape how city
governments engage with other actors, influencing project outcomes and reinforcing governance
strategies. It also discusses the evolving dynamics between national governments and cities,
highlighting the role of collaboration and partnership between the public and private sectors in
large-scale urban projects. The study concludes by emphasizing the interconnected relationship
between city government jurisdictional capacity and urban governance processes, offering
insights into the evolving landscape of governance structures.

The article addresses the criticism that urban climate change adaptation efforts often
worsen inequitable impacts. It emphasizes the urgent need for integrating equity and justice
considerations in adaptation planning. While climate justice scholarship has mainly focused on
theoretical aspects, the article argues that existing planning tools, particularly the integration of
socio-economic data, can support justice-centered urban adaptation. Conducting a systematic
review of socio-economic projections in urban climate change adaptation planning, the authors
propose an operational framework for incorporating justice concerns. Although existing literature
doesn't explicitly link socio-economic projections to justice outcomes, the authors identify their
potential for promoting distributive, procedural, recognition, and restorative justice in urban
adaptation.

insecurity, with racial disparities evident. Three-quarters of Black respondents fear the police,
and transportation issues disproportionately affect city residents. Drug addiction impacts more
than 40% of respondents, and over 25% have lost someone to overdose. Despite dissatisfaction
with local government trust, respondents trust businesses and nonprofits. The survey aims to
inform city stakeholders and address pressing urban challenges.

(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452263518300077)
Baltimore’s food system and its evolution into an international leader in urban food
policy is discussed. After the city gained attention in 2015 due to the killing of Freddie Gray, the
civil unrest revealed socio-economic disparities. The incident highlighted vulnerabilities in the
food system, disrupting supply chains for three weeks, leading to grassroots initiatives like the
Black Church Food Security Network. Despite challenges, Baltimore has been a pioneer in
progressive food policy for over six years, boasting the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative (BFPI)
and signing the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact. The article explores socio-economic patterns,
governance structures, and efforts promoting sustainability, reflecting on the city's resilience
post-uprising and offering lessons for global food policy.

where vacant or abandoned properties are sold for a nominal fee to encourage redevelopment.
The proposed legislation aims to address urban blight and stimulate economic development by
making housing more affordable. The specifics of the proposed legislation may include measures
to streamline the acquisition process for interested buyers and incentivize property
improvements. This initiative reflects a comprehensive strategy to tackle vacant properties and

What is a Community Land Trust? (2023). South Baltimore Community Land Trust.
https://www.sbclt.org/what-is-a-community-land-trust/
Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are non-profit organizations owning land for various
communal purposes, including affordable homeownership, parks, education centers, housing,
agriculture, commercial spaces, and community gardens. Unlike profit-driven approaches, CLTs
prioritize democratic decision-making and community creativity, shifting control from
speculative interests to community needs. By removing land from the private market, CLTs
ensure lasting stability, protecting it from speculative fluctuations. The value of the land is
determined by community needs, not investor forecasts. CLTs, exemplified by the New
Communities model, originated during the Civil Rights Movement, emphasizing community
ownership and governance. In Baltimore, organizations like SBCLT are part of the SHARE
network, committed to development without displacement.
