Tracy Hadden Loh, a Fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Center for

highlighting the power of place and the importance of regional alignment in  
an uncertain world still recovering from the COVID pandemic. Dr. Loh’s  
work focuses on the intersection of commercial real estate, infrastructure,  
racial equity and governance. Her presentation will link her experience as a  
former elected official and her national research with the realities of the  
Bay Area and help frame the conversation around recovery and growth.  
She recently co-authored the Brookings Institution’s report entitled  
“Breaking the ‘urban doom loop’: The future of downtowns is shared  
prosperity.”  
After the presentation, President Arreguín and Bay Area Council President  
and CEO Jim Wunderman will join Dr. Loh in a discussion of the state of  
the regional economy and lessons from other parts of the country, followed
