"Living Cities 20th Anniversary WEBCAST
While attendance at the sessions is limited to members and select guests, watch the webcast live from 9:00am-2:00pm and 7:45-9:00pm EST right here on Living Cities website. Don't forget to join the conversation via Twitter using the hastag #LC20 & check out the live blog hosted by Next American City.
On Tuesday, September 27, Living Cities- a collaborative of 22 of the world’s largest foundations and financial institutions - will celebrate its 20th anniversary by bringing together leaders from the public, private & philanthropic sectors and challenging them to think differently about collaboration, innovation & urban social change.
Having harnessed the collective power of its members to invest approximately $1 billion - leveraged into over $16 billion - in America's cities over the last two decades, Living Cities’ Anniversary presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on our work to-date and look forward to understand how a more dynamic form of collaborationcan successfully accelerate metropolitan prosperity, unlock the power of private capital, and better connect low-income people to opportunity.

PANELS:
Living Cities Today & Tomorrow: A Conversation with the Living Cities Board: Our economy, our government, our country are undergoing enormous and disruptive changes. Living Cities Board Members – the leadership from some of the world’s largest foundations and financial institutions – will discuss how the organization has evolved to meet the changing needs of low-income people and why a more collaborative approach, coupled with innovative investment models, has the potential to re-engineer America's cities.
Interview with Stephen Johnson, Author, Where Good Ideas Come From: Steven Johnson has introduced concepts such as the “adjacent possible” and written extensively on cities as the perfect petri dish for innovation. Paula Ellis, Living Cities Board Member and VP of Strategic Initiatives at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, will interview Mr. Johnson, challenging him and us to think about and invest in urban innovation differently.
Integrating People, Place and Opportunity: An Inside Look at the Integration Initiative: In October 2010, Living Cities launched The Integration Initiative, an $85 million effort which supports cities that are harnessing existing momentum and leadership for change, overhauling long obsolete systems and fundamentally reshaping their communities and policies to meet the needs of low-income residents. One year into this initiative, hear from leaders driving the work on the ground and national funders about results to-date, early lessons-learned, and next steps both locally and nationally.
Dynamic Collaboration, Cities & the Future: A Moderated Conversation: A keynote speech by the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Shaun Donovan, will be followed by a roundtable discussion bringing together an unexpected mix of leaders to identify and discuss the emerging trends and innovations that will be crucial for cities over the next 20 years, the new problem-solving mechanisms that are needed, and the respective (and evolving) roles various sectors must play."
