Leading Urban Change - Informational Webinar on January 31st Notice

Cities are the solution to our global problems, because they create a platform for people to come together and innovate solutions.
But urban change is hard, as it demands navigating divergent priorities, regulatory environments, and stakeholder interests. Big problems in cities cannot be solved by a single department, ministry, think tank or company. Leaders must work together across sectors and be open to new ideas, tools and tactics.
Leading Urban Change will remind you that urban development doesn’t need to be a zero-sum game, and will help you shift from a scarcity mindset focused on deficits, to an abundance mindset based on leveraging assets. It will also teach you how to build soft power - to convene people and surface ideas that draw others to the table. We will approach leadership as stemming from aspiration and commitment, rather than position.
Leading Urban Change is a project accelerator. We expect you to bring members of a team that is stuck in progressing a particular city-focused project or program - and we will work together to build skills and an approach that will eliminate your roadblocks.
Sign up now to attend an informational webinar about Leading Urban Change.
Wednesday, January 31, 12-1 pm ET with Karen Chapple & Nouman Ashraf
