In this last edition of InfraVision’s podcast series on the future of cities and their infrastructure, host Laurie Mahon (Former Vice Chair at CIBC Capital Markets), explore ‘New Models for Urban Governance,’ with two guests who bring policy insight and academic depth to this conversation: Reuven Carlyle (Former Washington State Senator) and Cecilia Wong (Professor of Spatial Planning at the University of Manchester).
As the world’s cities are facing mounting pressures, some of which we discussed in other episodes of the podcast: aging infrastructure, the demands of digitalization, escalating climate risks, and an urgent need to build systems that are not only sustainable, but also inclusive and resilient. These pressures demand not just more infrastructure, but smarter governance.
