Tue 6/20 @ noon
Once again, the City Club is taking its programming outdoors into the community for free public lunchtime forums on Public Square. For two Tuesdays in June (20 & 27) and two in July (11 &18), it’ll be presenting outdoor talks on topics revolving around the future of downtown.
The series starts on Tuesday June 20 with “Developing Downtown Cleveland as Our Neighborhood.” It will look at a strategy called the Legacy Cities Initiative, described as “a seven-part strategic framework for the equitable and sustainable revitalization of legacy cities.” Jeff Epstein, the city of Cleveland’s Chief of Integrated Development; Libertad Figuereo, research partner at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy; and Amanda Lloyd, program director of Global Research Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Institute for Urban Research will talk about how “inclusive economic development” can be achieved.
Bring your lunch (there’ll be a food truck onsite as well) and enjoy the fresh air and some hopefully fresh ideas. No registration is required, although you can register here. In case of rain, the forum moves inside Old Stone Church on the north side of Public Square. The forum will also be livestreamed on the City Club’s website. Questions can be tweeted to @TheCityClub or texted to 330-541-5794.
