Innovators across the United States are building structural innovations that (re)design markets. The interactive map below highlights their transformative efforts, showcasing market- and policy-based innovations addressing critical issues like the racial wealth gap and the devaluation of homes in Black communities.
We invite you to explore how these projects are creating more equitable, sustainable futures, and navigate the map to discover structural innovations nationwide. Learn about the innovators and leaders behind these initiatives and find inspiration for advancing structural change in your own community.
As more initiatives emerge, this map will continue to grow, reflecting the expanding landscape of structural innovations.
This map was created by Alec Friedhoff, Senior Front End Developer, The Brookings Institution.
Valuing Homes in Black Communities
Homes in Black majority neighborhoods are undervalued by 23% on average compared to similar homes in other neighborhoods. Structural innovations that redesign our markets could create a more equitable housing market. To support new ideas, Economic Architecture and Brookings are mapping innovations across the US and will soon invite innovators to step forward and apply to the Valuing Homes in Black Communities Challenge.
