Gentrification Game:

Make money by gentrifying someone else's neighborhood! Do you know who will benefit and who will lose when people play the gentrification game?

Gentrification often starts when a neighborhood sees an influx of new businesses, new investments, and wealthier residents. This influx can result in rising property values, increased rents,  and changes in a neighborhood's cultural and social character, leading to displacement of long-standing residents. How and why does gentrification happen? Why does it matter and what could we do about it?
 

Join us for an exciting and illuminating interactive, team-based game to explore how neighborhood gentrification, housing insecurity, and environmental justice intersect, followed by a discussion about why we should care and what we might be able to do about it.
