3:00 Q & A
The Curbside Chat is a candid conversation about the future of America's cities, towns and neighborhoods. It is a presentation, followed by a community-specific discussion, about the financial health of the places Americans have built.
-
Why are our cities and towns so short of resources despite decades of robust growth?
-
Why do we struggle at the local level just to maintain our basic infrastructure?
-
What do we do now that the economy has changed so dramatically?
The answers are found in the way we have developed; the financial productivity of our places. This stunning presentation is a game-changer for communities looking to grow more resilient and obtain true prosperity during changing times.
