Washington DC May 22 2015 — What will our biggest cities look like in three years? In five years? In 50 years?
That’s the topic tackled in the May 2015 issue of BeInkandescent magazine which shines the light on one of the cities that is busy planning ahead for the future.
Featured entrepreneur is Jane Ferrara the chief operating officer of the City of Richmond’s Economic Development Authority. Her expertise in commercial real estate transactions honed over 30 years in the private sector allows Ferrara to anticipate the real estate needs of prospects and negotiate deals.
Case in point: Making a deal with one of the hottest companies in the country Stone Brewing Co. Find out how she and 200 of her colleagues got Stone to bring its operations to the River City.
And be sure to check out Ferrara’s Tips for Entrepreneurs on how to make your company attractive to a large economic development authority.
Also in this issue:
- Food news raises its glass to the craft brewery coming to Richmond by sharing some of the health benefits of beer.
- Future in Focus founder Michael Vidikan explains that the innovative technologies being developed by a rising number of the world’s cities will not only cut costs and help the cities run more efficiently but will reduce carbon emissions and possibly inspire other cities to do the same.
- Our Book of the Month by journalist Daniel Brook looks forward by first looking back. Don’t miss our Q&A with him about A History of Future Cities.
- In which cities do Millennials want to live in the future? Inkandescent interns shine a light on where 20-somethings are hoping to land post-graduation.
- Also highlighted is Live Earth 2015 which is helping to draw attention to the No More Bull crowdfunding campaign by ChompingClimateChange.org.
- And a huge thumbs up to big-hearted Rob Chasteen-Scheer founder of the nonprofit Comfort Cases. He is on a mission to provide the essential supplies to foster children on their journey to find home.
Here is a parting thought about the future of cities from Enrique Peñalosa former mayor of Bogotá Colombia: “Cities are only a means to a way of life and whatever we do over the next 40 years will determine the quality of life for millions. I am convinced that we need radically new designs … that can lead us to more sustainable cities where people will lead happier lives.”
