Aerotropolis: Political Salon with Greg Lindsay
2011 NOV 14 - On Monday 11/14, we are pleased to be hosting a Political Salon with Greg Lindsay, author of Aerotropolis: The Way We'll Live Next, in discussion with Michelle Fanzo, Project Leader of the World Policy Institute. According to Greg Lindsay and John Kasarda's book Aerotropolis, airports are no longer the mere logistical backbone of the air travel and transportation industries; they're what seaports were to the 18th century and railroads to the 19th: the huge new drivers of urban, economic, social and governmental change. Time magazine this year ranked the Aerotropolis among the 10 Ideas That Will Change the World.
The Political Salon series of discussions is organized by the World Policy Institute, a non-partisan source of informed policy leadership for more than four decades, which develops and champions innovative policies that require a progressive and global point of view. In an increasingly interdependent world, WPI focuses on complex challenges that demand cooperative policy solutions to achieve: an inclusive and sustainable global market economy, engaged global civic participation and effective governance, and collaborative approaches to national and global security.
