Diverse economies depend upon entrepreneurs, innovators, and artists, but in cities like New York, these groups are often the first to be crowded out by rising rents and rising barrier-to-entry costs. This panel will discuss the challenges facing our city's risk-takers and innovative solutions to overcoming those obstacles —from pop-ups to co-working spaces. How can globally competitive cities grow economically while simultaneously supporting entrepreneurs and innovators?
