Planning at the Intersection of Technology, Growth, Revitalization and Inclusion

The United States and the World are in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The forces of globalization, automation, connectivity, changing demographics, and shared and on-demand economy are changing everything from how we communicate to do business. The form of our communities is changing and individual governments, non-profits, businesses, civic leaders and influencers will need to work together to rise to the challenges of the new emerging economy. Pennsylvania is in a unique position with a ready workforce, reuse opportunities, connected transportation systems, an abundance of higher education and technical training facilities, and the ever-important location, location, location, to serve as a leader. Utilizing the case study of Lehigh Valley, with the highest new industrial facility growth rate in the US, 70 years of population growth, success in reuse and redevelopment, and regional collaborations, the session will explore how to position your community for success. CM credit is pending approval.
