About the Program

What will the business environment be like as we approach the mid-21st
Century? Why discuss this topic in the first place? Why discuss it now
when companies struggle to survive the severe economic downturn? What
about water, power, and the very buildings companies occupy? The answers
to these questions are the subject of the next chapter in sustainable
business. Planning must begin now if cities of 25, 50, or even 100
million can provide a hospitable environment -- water, power,
information infrastructure, buildings -- for business. Partnerships and
collaboration among business, government, communities, and technology
experts hold the key to these challenges. Experts from these fields come
together on November 6 at Baruch College to discuss how they are meeting
the challenge by envisioning the future.
