Many are going beyond tree planting by rezoning abandoned infrastructure — like railroads and suspended highways — to create expansive, vibrant urban parks.But new data shows that this environmental revitalization is driving gentrification and displacing people in low-income communities.How can cities balance the impact of green gentrification with the need to adopt more climate-resilient developments?Want to support 1A?
