AWARD TO MEASURE BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS

Jointly with with the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) and the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), Marynia Kolak of University of Chicago's Center for Spatial Data Science recently received a grant from the Build Healthy Places Network. The award seeks to quantify the benefits of investments in community development. The team will develop a framework for projecting cost savings and societal benefits associated with broad-based community development initiatives. This will be accomplished by joining research, theory, and real-world applications to aggregate and quantify the impacts of community development in ways meaningful to potential investors.
