Future of Cities: Pandemic provides Baltimore a chance for reinvention

Baltimore, like many urban areas, has been hit hard by the pandemic and is facing a budget crunch that will likely force a reckoning as leaders look to reinvent and reshape the city for the post-Covid world. To talk about this important crossroads facing Baltimore and cities across the country, the Baltimore Business Journal brought together five local leaders and experts to discuss the city’s path forward. This panel followed on a discussion with economist Richard Florida hosted by American City Business Journals, the BBJ’s parent company, about why he remains bullish on the outlook for America’s cities.
