‘A warning to other cities’: GSU professor releases new book on Atlanta’s housing crisis

What’s led to Atlanta’s housing crisis?

Georgia State urban studies professor Dan Immergluck makes it clear in his new book that it’s far from one misstep and instead a culmination of policy failures throughout the city’s history.

Immergluck joined “Closer Look” to talk about “Red Hot City: Housing, Race, and Exclusion in Twenty-First Century Atlanta” and how the handling of major events and projects — like the 1996 Olympics and the Atlanta BeltLine —  fueled gentrification and shrank the region’s affordable housing stock.
