12:34:44 AM | Part of the understanding of conditions is to engage in the question and discussion around 'what are the immediate, and emergent conditions that will impact our city'. The pursuit of this inquiry is not just about doing it once, and focusing on our local 'back-yard. It is a continuing and expanding inquiry that stretches from the local, to the regional to the global, and back again - allowing the city to flex itself and flow with changes in conditions.
Generally the conditions that creep up on a city and put it into crisis or celebration, are not those on the surface, but those buried deep in the understanding, memory and experience of a city's diverse networks of people. Such networks when made part of a city-wide conversation bring a collective consciousness out into the open to provide a shared context for decision-making that is invaluable. For without such a context, all decision-making and implementation is flawed, or at best, ad hoc and hit and miss.
In Reinventing Stamford, it will be the challenge of all involved to be part of and bring the networks together to commence a never-ending inquiry into - 'what are the conditions that will shape a reinvented Stamford>' | rstein

9:30:59 AM | Going forward, the State of Connecticut and the Federal Government must be convinced to buy into this partnership with the goal of achieving a national model for "corridor" cities of our size, composition, and pivotal role in regional prosperity. (Jon Smith) | | |
