This April 5th speech from the Brookings Institution is an excellent big-picture look at what cities can do, with many examples applicable to Sacramento, the Parkway and our river waterfront.
The speech is entitled: Transformative Investments: Unleashing the Potential of American Cities, and was delivered by Bruce Katz (Vice President and Director, Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings Institution) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, on April 5, 2006.
The presentation is replete with pictures, graphs, and examples from around the country.
