The Challenge

New York and the United States confront challenges of epochal dimensions that are changing our world, our work and our lives. They are driven by new technologies and the dynamics of globalization. They are accelerated by the profound shifts in wealth, influence and power within and among nations.

They are accentuated by current economic and financial conditions at home and in the global economy. Our future and that of New York in the world will be determined by our ability to understand and act creatively and fearlessly upon the historic challenges and changes we face.
