(3.5 hour session) Today we are experiencing a revolution in the nature of work. Knowledge, creativity and innovation are replacing mass production as the primary driver of the economy. Generation Y, destined to be the workforce of this New Economy, gravitates to more urban places looking for housing, entertainment, recreation, jobs and the interactive environments that stimulate creative interaction, collaboration, and idea sharing. Today’s city design must emphasize the convenience, connectivity, accessibility and buzz that is central to the New Economy. Hear about what it takes to create these places. During the first part of this session, an urban planner describe planning policies that will help cities prepare for this economic engine. In the second part of this session, real estate developers and two mayors discuss how they are attracting businesses downtown and what it takes to get them there. The third part of this session features local leaders of the Kansas City startup community – entrepreneurs and a local foundation helping to make great places come to life for their own business needs
