GMF workshop on post-industrial development highlights Great Lakes region’s future economic potential October 02, 2009 / Cleveland, Ohio & Detroit, Michigan
GMF, with the support of the Ford Foundation and in close cooperation with local leaders, hosted workshops in Cleveland, Ohio on September 14 and 15, and in Detroit, Michigan on September 18, to examine the concept of regionalism, how regional identities are fostered, and how regional strategies can help promote economic development. The workshops drew on the experiences of older industrial European cities as well as the perspectives of local and regional leaders to explore in depth a number of topics relating to these themes.
Former Mayor of Torino, Valentino Castellani, gave the keynote speech at both workshops.
