First hour: Reshaping Rochester - Jennifer Vey on transformative placemaking
Second hour: Connections preempted for NPR's coverage of the Senate impeachment trial
How can so-called rust belt cities take advantage of the digital economy to revitalize their urban centers? It’s a question planner and developer Jennifer Vey at the Brookings Institution has explored in depth. Her work in transformative placemaking focuses on inclusion, innovation, and job creation. She’ll be in Rochester next week as a guest of the Community Design Center for its 2020 Reshaping Rochester Series, but first, she joins us on Connections. Our guests:
- Jennifer Vey, senior fellow and director of the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking at the Brookings Institution
