2016 CA Summit - California Cities: Engines of Growth
Donna Bojarsky, Gray Davis, Stephen Engblom, Miguel Santana, Darrell Steinberg, Ashley Swearengin
Former California Governor Gray Davis joined current and former mayors alongside corporate leaders to analyze the devolution of political power and fiscal responsibility to urban centers amidst a rapidly growing global urban population. The panelists outlined how cities are overcoming federal withdrawal and infrastructure deficits by adopting data-driven governance, performance-based public-private partnerships, and strategic reinvestment in downtown revitalization and transit-oriented development. Ultimately, the discussion emphasized a shift toward resilient, non-partisan leadership that prioritizes specific "top three" agendas and cross-sector collaboration to drive economic growth in both coastal and inland regions.
