Explore a thought-provoking panel discussion on innovative urban governance and its impact on underserved communities. Delve into the concepts of open, collaborative, and distributed governance as presented in the book "A New City O/S" by Stephen Goldsmith and Neil Kleiman. Learn how this new framework puts citizens at the center of operations, focusing on outcomes and transforming public employee practices. Examine the potential benefits and challenges of this approach for low-income residents in rapidly changing neighborhoods, particularly in Washington, DC. Gain insights from a diverse panel of experts, including former Indianapolis mayor Stephen Goldsmith, DC Deputy Mayors Brian T. Kenner and Courtney R. Snowden, 11th Street Bridge Park Director Scott Kratz, and Jennifer Bradley from the Aspen Institute's Center for Urban Innovation. Consider the implications of better urban governance for communities facing or fearing displacement in the context of DC's evolving cityscape.
