Mayor Peduto Addresses the US Conference on Mayors

January 24, 2014 Lindsay

us-confEarlier this week, mayors from over 280 cities around the country gathered in Washington DC for the 82 annual Conference of Mayors.  The conference agenda is available online here.

Here are some of the articles from about the conference from around the country – it is kind of interesting to see which issues are being highlighted for other cities.

You can watch Mayor Peduto’s remarks in the following video starting at 59 minutes.  Peduto talks about history, Rachel Carlson, sprawl, football, baseball, decline of steel industry – and gives a pretty concise history of where Pittsburgh has been and where we’re headed.  

Here is a photo of Mayor Peduto with New York City’s Mayor de Blasio:
