Judith Taylor

Biography: Judith Taylor is a Partner at HR&A Advisors and an industry expert in planning and implementing equitable development. With over 15 years of experience in real estate, land use, and inclusive economic development, Judith specializes in leading economic analyses that help public and private clients identify and implement transformational, yet achievable, real estate development strategies.

Most recently, Ms. Taylor co-led an assessment of the real estate industry’s adoption of equity and health imperatives for the Urban Land Institute’s Building Healthy Places Initiative.
