The eighth biennial Federal Reserve Community Development Research Conference will be held April 11–12, 2013, at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. Community development is a dynamic research arena that requires the input of a multitude of voices, sectors, and industries; the harnessing of an array of data; and the application of numerous methodologies to understand, assess, and create more sustainable and thriving neighborhoods. In response, the 2013 conference will feature academically rigorous, applied and action-oriented research from many disciplines to inform collaborative, emerging strategies and policies that forge vibrant and resilient communities and consumers.
