The Power of Cities: Rahm Emanuel on Why Mayors Run the World
In the first Chicago stop on the national tour for his new book The Nation City: Why Mayors Are Now Running the World, two-term Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will explore how local leaders flip old notions of governance upside down. In a conversation with Ariel Investments Co-CEO Mellody Hobson, Mayor Emanuel will talk about how cities—not national governments—are innovating everything from education and infrastructure to job conditions and environmental policies.
