I'm very pleased to share this #DataSmartCityPod ep that I recorded with Dr. Sara Naomi Bleich. Over the summer she spoke to our Chiefs of Staff cohort, and her talk was so important that I asked her to come on our podcast to share her insights & advice. datasmart.hks.harvard.edu/news/2025/10...

It's an HKS x GSD crossover episode today: datasmart.hks.harvard.edu/charles-wald... I had the pleasure of connecting with a colleague at the @gsd.harvard.edu, Charles Waldheim, who hosts the Future of the American City podcast.

1/ Today is the first day of Air Quality Awareness Week #AQAW2025. At the recent African American Mayor's Association conference, I had the privilege of interviewing Mayor @justinmbibb.bsky.social about how - and why - he's addressing air pollution in Cleveland.
