We can have two different reactions to an economic recession: panic or plan. We can panic, pull in our horns and hang on for dear life. Or we can think past the current trauma and look ahead to think about the world we'll be competing in once the storm passes. People in the technology industry talk about inflection points, where fundamental change reshapes markets. Cities can clearly see a coming inflection point-driven by economic challenges, globalization, and climate change. What can city leaders do today to position their cities not simply to survive, but to thrive, as these changes unfold?

That's the issue we'll address at our next National Meeting, May 13-14 in Pittsburgh on Next Generation Cities: Finding New Sources of Strength in Tough Times.
