    For this episode Chris was joined by Rebecca Karp (CEO and Founder) and Ali-Sutherland Brown (Principal) from Karp Strategies.

    Chris recalls, "I first met Rebecca through the offshore wind space a few years ago when we were both presenting at the International Partnering Forum (IPF) event in Atlantic City, NJ. I was immediately struck by her expertise, her ability to connect with local communities, and understand multiple drivers affecting that community."

    On this episode we discuss at length a few major issues affecting modern city planning and sustainability efforts; workforce development, climate change impacts, community partnership, stumbling blocks and challenges to renewables development, and more. Somehow we cover a ton in the hour and it felt like chatting with friends over coffee. Ali and Rebecca are great, and the first time all season that I invited two experts from the same company. We did that to show that even within one firm, differing perspectives can flourish and benefit projects.

    Cities will play an increasingly critical role in our society in coming years, but they will also be faced with incredible logistic challenges and constraints. Smart planning now based on projected impacts helps to equitably alleviate those future constraints.
