Urbanization is shaping the human experience in powerful ways. More than 3.5 billion people — half the world’s population — now live in rapidly-growing cities, including 80% of United States residents. Will urban change expand opportunity and equity, or will it entrench inequalities? How can social innovations transform cities in ways that fully empower individuals, businesses, and communities?
Featuring keynote speakers Anthony Foxx, United States Secretary of Transportation; John Paul Farmer ’04BUS, Director of Technology & Civic Innovation at Microsoft; and Andrew Salkin, Senior Vice President, City Solutions at 100 Resilient Cities!
This conference will feature panels on:
Transformations in Individuals: Building Diverse Urban Human Capital Pipelines (see speakers)
Transformations in Businesses: Driving Inclusion in the Tech and Startup Space (see speakers)
Transformations in Communities: Designing the Urban System (see speakers)
