The INTERSECTION Quality Development Conference 2024

A year ago, The INTERSECTION explored our region’s affordable housing crisis and the partnerships working to solve it. With housing still top of mind in our metro’s now 89 local governments, we continue this conversation this year, through the lens of infrastructure. It is high-quality and sustainable infrastructure that makes our developments work, and as a region and state, we must prioritize this investment to support the expected population growth and ensure housing continues to be built. How can infrastructure investment work to alleviate our housing shortage? How are communities prioritizing housing and infrastructure in tandem? What kind of investments need to be made now?
 

We know traditional infrastructure when we see it, but housing isn’t always likened to it. But just like roads, bridges, sewers, power lines, and networks, housing is part of the fabric of a successful economy. What happens when we think about housing AS a kind of infrastructure?
