It'd be nice to meet you.
Atlanta Brain Trust
On April 12th, CEOs for Cities, Mayor Kasim Reed and the City of Atlanta, Parkmobile and McKenna, Long and Aldridge hosted the Atlanta Brain Trust, a robust discussion among urban leaders on the trends shaping the future of cities, how Atlanta is likely to fare in light of these trends, and if the local civic agenda needs to shift in response to these trends.
We talked about Atlanta’s success in attracting talented workers and what civic and business leaders are doing to keep them. We discussed the importance of placemaking investments that attach talented people to cities, and finally, we asked how Atlantans can put their talent to work in high wage jobs and innovative fields.
Outcomes of the Brain Trust will be compiled and put to use for the development of a national policy agenda and planned publications related to the US Initiative, including a book.
