The CityTalk Podcast is back...and ready to recruit your attendance at the Canadian Urban Institute's State of Canada's Cities Summit on December 5-6 ,2024. In its second year, this gathering will again take place in Ottawa and convene city builders and placemakers from across Canada and beyond. 

To set the stage, host and CUI president/CEO Mary Rowe has invited some thought-leaders appearing in Ottawa to preview some of the core topics on the aganda...all coming back to why infrastructure matters - for innovation, equity, resilience, and more.

For this episode, Tracy Hadden Loh, a fellow in the Brookings Institution (Washington, DC) Metro program, joins Mary in conversation on what turned out to be a very consequential day for urban advocates on both sides of the border.
