ABSTRACT

You live in a large city in the Midwest. Your city newspaper has just broken a story about a city-funded study that has shown racial discrimination in the operations of many of the city’s apartment complexes (see Exhibit 11.1). You have been out of graduate school now for ten years and have been successfully operating your own six-person consulting firm. You work for businesses and government on a variety of urban and regional policy matters. You have developed a professional network with many business and government leaders in the city and have a number of contacts in the housing and development industry.
