Event will explore challenges of city management

City mayors, urban development planners, transportation experts and Yale scholars of urban policy are among those who will participate in a one-day conference at the Yale School of Management to explore the topic "The Big Apple and the Orchard Whence it Grew: Managing New York and its Region in a Changing World."

The conference will begin at 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 11, in the General Motors Room, 55 Hillhouse Ave. The event is free and open to the public.

The conference is being hosted by Douglas W. Rae, the Richard S. Ely Professor of Management and former chief administrative officer of the City of New Haven, and Emil Frankel, a management fellow at Yale SOM and senior fellow at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, who is Of Counsel at Day, Berry & Howard LLP. Rae is an authority on the political economy of cities, electoral politics and power relations, among other subjects, while Frankel specializes in transportation policy, environmental law and public management, among other areas.

Yale SOM Dean Jeffrey E. Garten will make opening remarks at the conference. Conference participants will explore topics ranging from transportation challenges, access to labor markets, economic growth, power relations, environmental issues and the challenges involved in managing institutions.

"New York is among the most complex, and most important, world mega-cities, and its future is of the highest importance in world business," says Rae.

The conference will be divided into two panel discussions. The first, to be held 1:15-3:15 p.m., will be on the subject "Metropolitan Regions and Globalization: Outlook for the New York Region and Its Institutions." The participants will be Robert Yaro, executive director of the Regional Plan Association of New York; Robert Kiley, president and chief executive officer of New York City Partnership and Chamber of Commerce, who is also former chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority; Michael Gallis, principal of Michael Gallis & Associates and former professor of architecture and planning at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte; and Frankel. Rae will serve as moderator.

"Managing Urban Institutions in the Tri-State Region in a Changing World" will be explored in the second discussion, to be held 3:30-5:30 p.m. Participants are Daniel Malloy, mayor of Stamford, Connecticut; Thomas Suozzi, mayor of Glen Cove, Long Island; Matthew Nemerson, president of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce; and Joseph B. Rose, chair of the City Planning Commission and director of the Department of City Planning for the City of New York. Joel Cogen, executive director of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, will moderate.

"The Big Apple and Whence it Grew: Managing New York and its Region in a Changing World" is the first in a series of one-day conferences planned at Yale SOM. For further information about the event, contact Elisa Godfrey at (203) 432-6018.
