Forged for All? Amazon HQ2 & the Future of Pittsburgh Human Rights, the Right to the City, and Equity implications of the City of Pittsburgh’s Future. Forged. For All Plan—A Community ForumSaturday February 10, 11:00AM-1:00PMHealth & Human Services Building, 1 Smithfield Street Downtown Pittsburgh, Liberty Room
This forum will provide space for an overdue conversation about the City of Pittsburgh’s proposal to host “Amazon... HQ2.” While the project would create certain kinds of jobs, would they, as leaders claim, be “forged for all”? How would the project impact Pittsburgh’s already severe problems of affordable housing, racial inequity, aging infrastructure, and declining public services? How would the city’s proposal affect our future tax base? How can we work to ensure that future planning and development better account of the human rights and needs of residents?
