As the majority of the world’s population becomes urban,

cities must become centers of learning for young and old.

Every person, organization and region needs to get smart—

to skill up, learn more and build new capacities faster and

cheaper than ever. In the long run, education is the economic development

agenda. Innovative new tools and schools are making it possible for

individuals, organizations, and cities to boost learning outcomes. Most

learning innovations occur in ecosystems—and these unique environments

begin with leadership and an innovation mindset. This combination of

persistence, entrepreneurship and a collaborative focus on impact can be

taught in every classroom and encouraged in every city.

Quotes

  • Iren Udovenkohas quoted6 years ago
    My vision since elected mayor of Sacramento in 2008 has been to make Sacramento "a city that works for everyone." To that end, my team has mobilized volunteers, improved public art, attacked homelessness, slowed gang violence and encouraged the city to Think Big with regard to economic development. We launched Stand UP to promote education innovation and Sacramento READS! to boost literacy. We collaborate with the school district to align city services to maximize resources to support public education.
