Cities Are the Engines of Our Economy

Over 85% of our GDP is generated in cities. Nearly 95% of new jobs over the next decade will be created in cities. It's been said that we no longer have a National Economy, but a collection of Metropolitan Economies. Cities around the world are now forging relationships directly, outside of State and National governments. We'll discuss why cities are where the action is, and why they are so important in the long-­term economic growth of the country.

With special guest Bob Worsley.
