In this episode, we’re following up on the economic development discussions of the last two weeks. Where is the status quo approach to economic development leaving our cities and our citizens? How do recent changes in economic trends affect the ways cities attempt to do business? What does a more localized, sustainable, and people-focused version economic development actually look like?

Links to things discussed in the show:

• Should Economic Development Focus on People or Places?

• Walmart is building 'town centers' in its parking lots

• Economic gardening

*Unfortunately, we've had to push off our next webinar. But, you CAN watch the recording of our most recent webinar: How to Cultivate (Real) Fiscal Sustainability + Community Engagement. And we'll still take your questions! Just send them to info@verdunity.com.
