How Private-Public Partnerships Can Save Cities From Oblivion. Interview with Ognyan Georgiev

from Sustainability Explored · host Sustainability Explored

Today, we discuss with Ognyan Georgiev, investigative journalist and former urban researcher at MIT, about the implications of and solutions for regional migration around the world, and particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. We uncover the causes behind national and local failure to keep people from moving away and share lessons from a comparison study between the US and European cities. Also, we don't neglect the impact of recent global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which brings its own challenges for cities facing emigration threats. People have sudden freedom to choose their workspace, so they can move anywhere. On the other hand, people were forced to come home from their jobs abroad, creating an inflow of human capital. What can governments do further to keep people inside? And should they really? You will learn about all this and more by tuning in the episode.
