Without sustainable financing mechanisms, cities in many countries have increasingly relied on tools to have the private sector provide or pay for infrastructure, community benefits, or other amenities. Known as value-capture instruments, these tools are used to capture land value increases that arise from changes to zoning or investment in public infrastructure. With a strong real estate market in its favor, Boston has been capturing community benefits from development projects. This proposed project asks three questions with the case study of Boston:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To what extent do low-income and minority neighborhoods receive community benefits from large projects?<\/li>\n
  2. Do benefits flow spatially from some locations to others?<\/li>\n
  3. Does the Imagine Boston 2030 \u2014 Boston\u2019s first comprehensive plan since 1965 \u2014 facilitate the types and location of these benefits?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"map<\/p>\n

    This research project will use quantitative content analysis to analyze the geographic distribution of community benefits before (2014\u20132017) and after (2018\u20132021) the launch of Imagine Boston 2030, controlling for the mayoral term. This research will impact how Boston employs the practice of community benefits to improve their equitable use by providing valuable guidance for policymakers and practitioners in Boston and beyond to pursue a well-designed process and ultimately achieve equitable public infrastructure financing.<\/p>\n
