Equitable Development for Langley Park, MD

Abstract

Langley Park, an unincorporated Census Designated Place, straddles Prince George's County and Montgomery County in Maryland. Its unincorporated status blurs the boundaries between Langley Park and the neighboring communities of Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Long Branch, and Hyattsville. Langley Park's position in Prince George's County and Montgomery County and the fluidity of the community's boundaries present challenges for policy-making strategies. However, this situation offers an opportunity to strengthen regional relationships between Prince George's County and Montgomery County and their communities. Through this study, we encourage these entities to collaborate to achieve shared goals for affordable housing, transportation, environment and sustainability, and community and economic development.
