Carrión: The Kind of Leadership We Need

Great news from our new Director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs Adolfo Carrión.   He told The Washington Post that he wants cities to become economic centers that can pull the country out of a recession and improve American competitiveness in a global market.

"Carrión said he would help coordinate urban policy in traditional areas such as education, health care and public safety. But he also said he would look to develop urban neighborhoods in environmentally thoughtful ways, such as by offering incentives for companies to locate in densely populated areas and improving mass transit."

It is, indeed, a new day for cities.

Carrión makes his state of the borough speech this morning in the Bronx.
