Some Boston neighborhoods are filled with attractive homes, thriving businesses, and plenty of new construction. Others are visibly struggling — and more often than not, they’re areas where Bostonians of color outnumber their white counterparts. So how would Annissa Essabi George and Michelle Wu push to get the benefits of Boston’s booming economy to more people in more places? Adam Reilly discusses with former mayoral candidate John Barros, who also served as Mayor Marty Walsh’s chief of economic development, and Segun Idowu, President and CEO of the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts.

First, though, make sure to catch a campaign update with Saraya Wintersmith and Peter Kadzis, who discuss (among other things) Boston voters’ seeming reversal on whether it’s important that the next mayor be someone who grew up in the city.
