Neighborhood Change Research Initiatives

The Neighborhood Change Research Initiatives involve several projects that utilize North Texas urban areas in research. We seek to understand how neighborhoods change and the consequences of that change on human welfare. The research informs scientists and policymakers about the most important drivers of neighborhood change.
