Please Join Bloomberg Government as they invite city, state, and federal officials and their partners in urban innovation to share successes won and challenges still to overcome in charting a path to inclusive smart cities.
As Washington remains polarized and deadlocked, cities across the country are implementing change for a more connected, more inclusive community. Local government leaders are rethinking what it means to connect with their constituents, finance infrastructure impacted by rapid advancements in technology, and plan for the future.
New thinking requires new perspectives. Of the 100 largest cities in America, only 19 are led by women mayors. In Congress, women make up just 20% of our elected representatives. As women run for office in record numbers, we’ll evaluate the changing landscape of smart cities through the lens of women leaders.
