How do politicians and nongovernmental organizations create economic policies that lead to inclusive economic development through incentives that help cities harness their capital to the creation of the new industry jobs of the 21st century? This project will map out the challenges St. Louis has faced and still faces with respect to systemic racism, and economic inequlities. The report will go on to highlight key organizations in St. Louis City that are impacting the region and are ensuring that all residents have a seat at the table of economic prosperity and political decision making.

Alex would like to thank his faculty sponsor Dr. Olga Arbelaez for their support of this project.
