Cities have faced a host of challenges over the course of history, such as affordable housing, transportation, public safety and economic opportunities. In today's rapidly changing global economy, these challenges are becoming increasingly complex, with cities needing to adapt to technological advancements, climate risks, and fluctuating fiscal policies. The most successful cities are dynamic and adapt to changing circumstances. Consider Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a prime example. Once known for its manufacturing might, Pittsburgh had to reinvent itself after the collapse of the steel industry in the 1980s. The Steel City successfully mounted a turnaround by becoming an innovation hub, thanks to a strong academic presence and low cost of living that attracted technology and healthcare employers. What lessons can cities draw from urban transformations of the past?  This episode of The Outthinking Investor explores the role investors will play in solving many of the challenges that cities face. With opportunities emerging across real estate, infrastructure, technology and more, institutional investors are already providing much of the capital needed to fund urban development. Edward Glaeser, economics professor at Harvard University and co-author of “Survival of the City: Living and Thriving in an Age of Isolation”; Jeff Speck, partner at the urban planning and design firm Speck Dempsey; and Cathy Marcus, Co-CEO and Global COO of PGIM Real Estate, discuss the evolution of cities, the challenges they must overcome, and emerging opportunities for investors.  To hear more from PGIM, tune into our new podcast, Speaking of Alternatives, hosted by Eric Adler, President and CEO of PGIM Private Alternatives.

On July 21, 2006, the New York Times published an article entitled: “Creating Demand for City Living in Nashville.”  The piece's author, Lisa Chamberlain, noted that at that time, the frenzied pace of downtown residential development was slowing in major cities like New York and Chicago, but in cities like Nashville, “where no residential population had existed, people are suddenly hungry for an urban lifestyle and are willing to pay for it.”  Just three years prior to the publication of this article, there were all of 10 units for sale in downtown Nashville, but then something happened:  “one developer, Anthony Giarratana, is credited with single-handedly creating a market for residential housing in the central business district.”   Booming downtowns with arts and culture and thousands of residents don't happen by accident, and Tony is the first to admit that nothing significant is accomplished single-handedly.  Nonetheless, the story of how Nashville went from having almost no downtown residents in 2003 to about 17,000 twenty years later in 2023 is a truly incredible story that spans law, politics, zoning, vision casting, as well as a truly remarkable levels of persistence (imagine making pitches to 69 banks before a single one says yes to your first residential tower project (The Cumberland).  There's perhaps no better person to tell this utterly fascinating story than the man, the myth, the legend himself: Anthony “Tony” Giarratana.   Tune in for this very special episode, which includes a proper telling of how downtown Nashville came to be what it is today, as well as a wide-ranging discussion of many hot issues, including the East Bank redevelopment, 2024 market forecasts, why 30,000 residents is the magic inflection point for downtowns, why Nashville should embrace taller builders, as well as why he will never complain about “chores.”  Tony also shares a book everyone should read, as well as some eloquent nuggets of hard-won wisdom about the role of kindness in life and in business.

I met for lunch today with an old friend of mine. We were talking about how much of life is determined by our work – it shapes where we live, how much time we spend commuting, where we send our children to school. In reality wherever we've lived for the last twenty years has always been strongly influenced by the work we do, how we get there and how late we need to be in the office.My friend said to me, “I've always thought you should start with where you want to live, and then figure out from there what work you can do.” My immediate response was probably like yours – in the real world we don't have that freedom. But then I thought, well who owns that freedom? We do.Who's driving your big life choices? It's today's question for reflection in the Box of Keys.--Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD: https://garycrotaz.com

A little more about the man in the woods. Two words we use, but what do we mean by them, radical and minimalist. Do they mean what we thinḳ̣?The main part of the podcast looks at if simple living really has an effect, or is it just time wasting. Examples given of life in the city and life in the countryside, can simply living really work in all situations?

No other issue has greater potential for common ground than America's housing affordability crisis. Progressives and conservatives alike agree that for far too many Americans there is a critical shortage of available homes.Since COVID erupted in 2020 the costs of apartment rentals and homes to buy have soared. According to the real estate firm Zillow, average U.S. home prices doubled in the past decade. In recent months mortgage rates went up to levels not seen in nearly two decades. With the growing possibility of a recession in the near future, there is no shortage of pessimism in the housing market today.We discuss solutions to the housing mess with Harvard University economist Ed Glaeser, author of "Rethinking Federal Housing Policy: How to Make Housing Plentiful and Affordable", "Survival of the City: Living and Thriving in an Age of Isolation" and many other books. Among the topics raised: The role played by zoning and environmental regulations in limiting homebuilding, Long-standing local resistance to new housing, The potential for pre-fabricated building to sharply reduce the cost of construction, Why giant companies face far few hurdles to business growth than many small neighborhood firms, and recent moves by some urban politicians on the left to support plans by developers to build new homes, even if much of it is neither subsidized nor fully affordable. "The whole COVID era has been a spectacular time for housing price increases," Glaeser tells us. The shortage of homes for sale is one reason. So is rising demand for additional space as millions more people work from home. Another cause is "the longer-term dysfunction of our housing markets in failing to produce enough supply."Recommendation: Jim is reading "How The World Really Works" by Canadian professor Vaclav Smil, author of more than forty books on topics including energy, environmental and population change, food production and nutrition, technical innovation, and public policy.A special thank you to The Manhattan Institute and Director of Marketing Aaron Ricks for help with producing and recording this episode.

Downtown Knoxville living is a fantasy for many and a reality for few. No matter how you slice it, living in the center of the city almost always is more expensive than the suburbs. Listen as growth and development editor Brenna McDermott and downtown reporter Ryan Wilusz help guide you through the decision of whether it makes sense to give urban life a try. We break down amenities that are most important in a downtown environment, how lifestyles change upon moving downtown and which hidden costs you might not be considering.  For a guide to the most in-demand downtown apartments, check out this story from growth and development intern Keenan Thomas.  "The Scruffy Stuff" is presented by knoxnews.com.

Some live by the philosophy that rules are meant to be broken, but what about non-rules that are meant to be followed? Residents and frequent visitors of downtown Knoxville know what we're talking about, even if they never publicly acknowledge these unspoken guidelines − the shortcuts to bar entries, the etiquette on sidewalks and the red light some people believe is totally OK to run through. On this week's episode, higher education reporter Becca Wright joins downtown reporter Ryan Wilusz to discuss which unspoken rules deserve to be said aloud.  "The Scruffy Stuff" is presented by knoxnews.com.

QUOTES “I work for a non-profit! So I literally get paid to serve families. Which is unique… I actually get to serve people, so if people are pissed, I'm not having a good day.” - J'aime Drayton [03:20] “We're coming together as families that are committed to great schools, safe streets, and great neighborhoods. And all of [that] starts with people.” - J'aime Drayton [06:21] “Managing volunteers is probably the hardest thing I think I've ever done. Learning how to do that has been really rewarding for me, personally. It's  extraordinary to me how many people are actually willing to give of themselves so much time and so much effort.” - Scott Kashnow [34:48] “We are the face of families, but we don't speak for all families.
