The pandemic has accelerated the growth of North America’s mid-sized cities, positioning a new group of Breakout Cities at the forefront of national growth and economic development. The growth in these mid-sized cities is outpacing larger cities, driven by residents seeking more affordable housing, complete neighborhoods, less traffic congestion and increasingly vibrant economies, all supercharged by remote work opportunities.
That’s why CityAge launched a new digital series that brought together mid-sized cities from across North America and around the world – starting by taking a look at how every mid-sized city can seize opportunity in this new economy.
