In an effort to bring you the latest in thought leadership, the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate is pleased to share a new UCLA study commissioned by the Los Angeles Business Council, "The 2013 Livable Communities Report: A Call to Action." The report was presented on October 18, 2013 at LABC's 12th Annual Mayoral Housing, Transportation & Jobs Summit, and was authored by Paul Habibi, UCLA Anderson/Ziman Center professor of real estate. Picking up from his 2012 report, "Building Livable Communities: Enhancing Economic Competitiveness in Los Angeles," Prof. Habibi re-examines the region’s workforce housing shortage and economic development issues by taking the vantage point of the developer. With the design of a critical new market analysis tool, the Livable Community Opportunity Index, Prof. Habibi challenges urban developers and policy makers to recalibrate the traditional jobs/housing equation to factor in Los Angeles County's growing transportation infrastructure for a more sustainable city.
