Promises to be a great meeting as we build this great model that has been so productive in the pandemic, and has a key focus on climate change.

Not easy to bring together such established, diverse and often competing institutions to sing harmoniously from one sheet. A task for any communicator!
Are your innovation district anchors talking frankly about how to connect? ‘Ours have been competing for 100 years,’ an observer tells GIID. ‘That’s a century of adversarial marketing. Now we're asking them to play nice in the sandbox!’ #frankdiscussionleadstochange

Urban #innovationdistricts look more appropriate post-pandemic. Suburban office parks are in trouble, says the NYT, as younger people want more urban offices with sidewalks & somewhere different to eat lunch each day. #futureofwork #urbanecosystem

Yes, downtown offices are struggling. But there is a different kind of emptiness in suburban settings that were already isolated and lightly populated by design.

Check out TRECC: it's a master class, for both the Global North and South, in how impact finance can foster partnership to secure major social policy improvements. Europe and US should learn from Africa.
Transforming communities through education is at the heart of the TRECC partnership model in Côte d’Ivoire - but the model's relevance extends much further. Read our Reflections, Learnings and Next Steps Report here 👇 https://t.co/HFRD6VI6GL

Very good question (though ‘how much do we really value caring dads’ is another, similarly important one...)
Happy #FathersDay2021 In a world that values #caringdads, why don’t we see more #caringboys in toy advertising & packaging? Time for the toy industry to catch up & #lettoysbetoys...

How inhumane to make women go through so much without their partners, and in a mask. This can’t be right

Survey of 936 women in December shows nearly one in five made to cover up, despite official guidance to contrary
