Plenary - "Officially Thriving: How Three Mayors are Prioritizing Inclusion and Ensuring Access for All"
Research shows that cities prosper when more neighborhoods and residents are included in economic development plans. A diverse panel of current mayors discusses their plans to ensure all residents, particularly those who have been underserved, have access to quality jobs, entrepreneurial opportunities, affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, and public transportation, and that they are given a voice in creating a sustainable future.
