Technology and innovation continue to evolve at a rapid pace. The pace of change is happening faster than our ability to respond to those changes. This scenario begs the question: should cities lead change? Or should cities accommodate it?

Regardless of how you may answer this question, the fact is, the future is now! Innovations in transportation, the economy, and technology are changing how we move, how we spend, and how we live in our communities. New modes of transportation range from high-speed rail, connecting long distance travelers to destinations in a quarter of the time it now takes, to the practicality of motorized scooters, providing transportation options to residents and employees to move from one block to the next.

What will this mean for cities like Cleveland? How should Cleveland change our ecosystem to be nimble and adaptable to a constantly changing world?

The Urban Land Institute Cleveland and the City of Cleveland seek to explore these and other questions that will challenge cities like Cleveland in the 21st Century.
