Rural Futures With Dr. Connie

We are navigating a critical juncture in our economic future, says Christiana McFarland, Research Director at the National League of Cities (NCL). It is clear that urban areas are attracting incredible growth, but in the big picture, this is not sustainable. Intrigued by Christy's work in the published report, "Bridging the Urban-Rural Economic Divide," RFI Chief Futurist Connie Reimers-Hild, Ph.D., draws out Christy's thoughts in terms of the overall narrative of the rural-urban "divide," accessible leadership and what the truest forms of rural-urban collaboration look like.
