At its southern end, Martin Luther King Jr. Way begins at the Port of Oakland, with Howard Terminal to the west and Jack London Square to the east. It’s a mostly gray industrial area, save for the colorful shipping containers lined up at the port, and often surrounded by freeway, port and railroad noise. There are few homes here; their average price is about $605,000. That’s about half as much as the average at the street’s other end, 6 miles away in Berkeley. This artery connects these two major East Bay cities. But the surroundings are vastly different at each end. Traversing the neighborhoods along its path reveals divergent realities in the communities it links. Check out the stunning visual essay: https://lnkd.in/gykHvayw 🎥: Brontë Wittpenn

Today, Urban honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, and the progress our country has made because of his contributions. Yet, we also recognize there is still more work to do to fully achieve King’s vision of racial equality and social and economic justice. In that spirit, this January, Urban is spotlighting research on and evidence-based solutions to some of the issues we’re still grappling with as a nation nearly 60 years after King’s assassination—among them, how to end poverty and ensure all people can achieve economic security. What would it take to dramatically move people out of poverty in the US? We’ve found that the answer isn’t solely in having more money. Mobility from poverty also involves people having autonomy over their life choices, power over the policies that shape their circumstances, and being valued for their contributions to their family, work, and community. Urban developed the Upward Mobility Framework to explain the kind of support individuals and families need to achieve this economic success, power, and dignity. Learn more about our framework, how you can use it, and what it takes to achieve the kind of economic justice King envisioned. https://urbn.is/3O1XyI3
