Are you interested in mid-sized cities and their economic contributions?


Summary of the article titled The economy forward framework: How midsized cities can achieve inclusive growth in the knowledge economy from 2021, by Richard Florida PhD, Ross DeVol, Cordell Carter, Jennifer Hankins, and Nicholas Lalla, published by the Aspen Institute.

This is a great preparation to our next interview with Nick Lalla in episode 348 talking about the economic side of urban sustainability.

Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how mid-sized cities can be involved in urban futures from the economic perspective. This article investigates pathways for mid-sized cities to transition to the knowledge economy while ensuring available opportunities and measuring progress.
