This is the first in a series of applied research agendas, composed of four components, that when taken as a group, form a blueprint for generating and translating knowledge about arts, culture, and equitable development in 2020. The goal of the series is to encourage the examination of these various issues and see that the importance of arts and culture strategies is recognized by potential researchers and those who can use that research. This agenda explores the role of arts and culture in increasing the rate of successful return and the social cohesion of residents who were temporarily displaced due to redevelopment.

1. The Impact of Arts and Culture on Relocation Assistance Programs
2. The Impact of Arts and Culture Strategies on Streetscape Design and Mobility Projects
3. Equitable Business Improvement Districts as a Creative Placemaking Model
4. Immigrant Food Systems and Redefining “Healthy” and “Local” Food
