Featured speakers and participants for the tenth Bloomberg CityLab included Michael R. Bloomberg, Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Coordinator at the White House Mitch Landrieu, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, EPA Administrator Michael Regan, Vishaan Chakrabarti, Dachner Keltner, Matthew Thompson, mayors from hundreds of cities across the globe, and more. Topics ranged from leading communities through rapid urbanization, to confronting emerging technologies, to reinvigorating economic development, and solving for housing affordability.
