Presentations were followed by a panel discussion with moderators Andre Dickens, Atlanta City Councilman at Large and Jennifer Hirsch, Director, Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain, Georgia Tech. The focus of the panel discussion was on the issues of affordability in 21st century American cities. Panelists brought up urban equity as well as the actions citizens and the government can take to improve affordability for residents. Following the panel discussion was a brief snack and coffee break.
