Vote for Cities of, by and for US

Seventy years ago GM's Futurama generated a compelling vision that spawned a new American ideal of a spacious, car-centered good life. We now know that paradigm no longer provides opportunity, exacerbates climate change and is diminishing our quality of life.  It is simply not sustainable.

We now have an urgent reason to define a new dream of opportunity and freedom.

CEOs for Cities in partnership with urban change agents across the nation is launching the US initiative, a program to build and sustain the next generation of great American cities, cities that are of by and for US.

We have forged a Declaration of Interdependence based on values we believe will make our cities more equitable and resilient:

Most Americans live in cities. And when that many people come together, things get done and anything can happen.  Together we can make things better for each and all of us.

We hold these values to be self-sustaining:

Opportunity                                                       

We can develop our talents and put them to use.

Community                                                                       

We can engage in a robust public life.

Accessibility                                                     

We can go where we need to go without a car.

Livability                                                                       

We can enjoy beauty and nature every day.

Optimism                                                                       

We can imagine a better future for everybody.

Do your part to create cities that are of, by and for US by voting for this initiative to receive critical support from the Pepsi Refresh Project.
