Host: Dan Gilmartin, CEO & Executive Director, Michigan Municipal League
Guest: Bruce Katz, author, "The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism"
Bruce Katz believes that cities are the engines of the national economy, so he has long wondered why American cities can't fund valuable services like infrastructure and early childhood education. On this episode of the Economics of Place podcast - and in his new book - Katz shares some of the lessons he has learned from European countries about unlocking public wealth.
