This webinar is the fourth in a series of four “deep dives” into a new playbook of national infrastructure policy developed by a diverse group of America’s mayors. Each recommendation has been driven by local innovation, with cities serving as testbeds for experimentation and transferable solutions.

This session will focus on both existing and potential innovations in federal economic recovery policy through a local lens. Participants will learn in detail about three key policy plays, including a new concept to establish a federal infrastructure planning council that coordinates multiple agency policies and funding programs, opportunities to expand federal discretionary grant programs to address broader needs and break down infrastructure silos, and the potential for federal leadership to help guide cities with their complete streets plans. For engineering consultants, this subject matter will help firms provide strategic advice to clients on innovations in urban planning and design.
