About the CityLab Seminars
The livability of cities is emerging as a key determinant human health, the earth’s ecosystem, and global economic growth and productivity. Baltimore is one of 100 US cities that generate over 75% of the GDP -- where most of America’s people and wealth are concentrated.  What kind of urban future do we want for ourselves and the next generation?  

CityLab Seminars bring DC business, professional, and community leaders together with Carey Business School students, alumni, and faculty to explore ideas and strategies for a more livable city.

Most of the readings and resources above are available on line.
