Brian Anderson, fellow at the Manhattan Institute and Editor of the City Journal, speaks on the greatest headwinds and tailwinds to the current renaissance of American cities, with a focus on New York.

American cities were in crisis from the 1970s to the early 90s, but policy makers and citizens overcame that crisis to unleash renewed success over the last 25 years. Even in the current atmosphere of urban regeneration, what are the new threats to the success of cities like New York? Brian argues that we should be most worried about crime and fiscal insolvency, and will discuss the effect that the Trump presidency may have on our cities.
