Ed Glazer, a distinguished urban economist from Harvard and author of "Triumph of the City," delves into the aftermath of the pandemic's impact on New York City. He discusses the challenges of urban density, shifting population trends, and how the city is not likely to revert to its troubled past. Glazer highlights the resilience of urban life, the importance of effective governance, and innovative strategies for economic recovery. The conversation also touches on how collaboration and creativity can shape the future of this iconic metropolis.
