Universities have strong research skills and loads of data, and cities need all the information they can get to understand what works for their communities. We spoke to Gemeente Amsterdam’s Chief Science Officer about how city halls can team up with colleges: bloombergcities.jhu.edu/news/taking-ci…
"Trust in government can be rebuilt from the bottom up, starting with the city halls that affect people’s lives most directly." Mayor Mayor Quentin Hart on City Of Waterloo IA's work with the Local Infrastructure Hub:

Savannah received a grant through the Biden/Harris Admin's Reconnecting Communities & Neighborhoods Program (RCN) to study removing I16, which divided the core of the city's Black community. I'm working w/ Bloomberg Philanthropies & the Local Infrastructure Hub to highlight RCN progress.
“Si se mira con atención, queda claro que Gobierno de la Ciudad de México ha impulsado la reforma digital más radical del hemisferio occidental, si no más allá.” James Anderson in @Wiredenespanol on Bloomberg Philanthropies and The Aspen Institute’s #CityLabCDMX:
Fascinating talk Ashoka #ChangeMakerSummit by James Anderson Marie Ringler “We envision municipalities becoming a platform for urban scale problem solving by looking outside of itself for solutions, testing new ideas and shaping funding opportunities”.
Awesome to talk with Marie Ringler at Ashoka’s #Changemaker summit. The vision I shared: #LocalGovs will increasingly become platforms for urban scale problem solving — elevating solutions + crowding in talent + helping the best ideas reach scale.
“W. Broad St. was once the center of a thriving community and home to Black families and businesses, as well as many Asian & Jewish immigrants. However, in the '60s, the federal government demolished and paved over landmark buildings, homes, and businesses" wrote Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock.

“The federal government has done its job. So, too, has a coalition of philanthropic organizations. It is now up to us — the local leaders — to take the baton and run with it.” More from Thomas Roach in @governing: governing.com/infrastructure…
Waterloo, IA, successfully applied for funding through the RCN to study relocating the railyard that pollutes and divides the area, creating significant public health impacts. I'm partnering with Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Local Infrastructure Hub to highlight RCN progress.
