Regional Strategies Forum Keynote Speakers Named
Alexandria, VA -
To attract desirable business to your region, you must offer effective education and transportation systems, affordable housing, first-rate entertainment venues, smart land-use planning, and more. To build that kind of environment, you need help from a broad spectrum of public, private, and nonprofit partners working in tandem. At the Regional Strategies Forum on July 29 and 30 in Pittsburgh, PA, find out how to identify and mobilize those partners to bring sustainable, dynamic, profitable growth to your region.
The forum features three important keynote presentations by regional planning experts:
- Four Key Drivers of Prosperity in America’s Metropolitan Areas by Bruce Katz, Vice President and Director of the Metropolitan Policy Program of The Brookings Institution
- Green Innovation and the Economy: The Climate Prosperity Project by Dr. Mark A. Weiss, Chairman and CEO of Global Urban Development, and Richard C.D. Fleming, President and CEO of the St. Louis (MO) Regional Chamber and Growth Association
- Mega-Regions: The New Vehicle for Organizing Sustainable Growth by Petra Todorovich, Director of America 2050, Regional Plan Association
