Birmingham Business Alliance and Dr. Bruce Katz

December 6, 2016 Libby Pantazis

This morning at the canary gallery, the Birmingham Business Alliance hosted Dr. Bruce Katz with local business leaders and had a lively discussion about opportunities and challenges of global urbanization.

The BBA is the economic development agency for the Birmingham 7 county region. Dr. Katz is the inaugural Centennial Scholar at the Brookings Institution, a cross institutional role after he served as VP and Co-Director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program which he founded in 1996. Dr. Katz is also co-author of The Metropolitan Revolution (Brookings Press, 2013) which promotes the position that cities are the vanguard of policy innovation and problem-solving globally. Dr. Katz is a graduate of Brown University and Yale Law School and visiting professor at the London School of Economics. 

During the discussion, young professionals expressed optimism and thoughts about Birmingham; Dr. Katz admonishing the professionals to become engaged in areas of their passions and get behind progress and effectuate change without focusing upon traditional hierarchy to obtain change.
