Piece Description


This week on Smart City we're looking ahead for a view of the city in the year 2050.   Maureen McAvey of the Urban Land Institute joins us to talk about what the city will look like 40 years from now, and what changes we need to make the future greener, richer, and most importantly, fun. 


And we're joined by Dr. Beverly Hall.  Dr. Hall has served as the superintendent of Atlanta Public Schools for a decade, and was recently honored by the American Association of School Administrators as their 2009 National Superintendent of the Year.  We'll talk about the innovations that are happening in Atlanta Public Schools and why improving student achievement is no mystery.
