Thursday, October 10,
2019
2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. CT
CM 1.50 Law
CLE 1.50 through Illinois State Bar
Gentrification is one of
the complex planning challenges of our times, but the legal limits on how local
communities can respond to these pressures are often unclear. While there is no
shortage of well-meaning ideas about how to slow the gentrification process or
mitigate its impacts, some of those ideas may not be legal, and others could
have significant unintended consequences. This webinar will review those laws
that impose obligations to protect America's citizens against some forms of
pressure and discrimination, as well as those that prohibit certain local
government actions. This review will include the Community Reinvestment Act, the
Fair Housing Amendments Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and
constitutional limits on interference with contracts or the fundamental right
to buy and sell property. However, the real action on gentrification is at the
local level, so panelists will also review selected municipal laws and
policies.
You can register for the webinar on the APA's website here.
