Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) is excited to be a part of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)'s next event in the Chancellor's Lecture and Event Series, featuring a five-person panel including MPC President MarySue Barrett. The discussion, titled "Washington, In or Out? Regional Governance and Development from Below," will draw heavily from the new book The Metropolitan Revolution: How Cities and Metros are Fixing our Broken Politics and Fragile Economy, by panelist Bruce Katz and co-author Jennifer Bradley of the Brookings Institution.
Barrett will discuss government efficiency in the Chicago region, as Metropolitan Planning Council prepares in 2014 to evaluate our existing structures and tools and determine through research and on-the-ground communication where those tools can operate at peak usefulness.
The event features an impressive panel, with Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Mike Mullen, Illinois chair of Tri-State Alliance for Regional Development joining Barrett and Katz. UIC College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs Dean Mike Pagano will moderate the event.
The event is free; more information is available here.
