	04/30/09 Transforming Cleveland by Building a WorldClass Waterfront The Forum is pleased to partner with the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority, the Urban Land Institute, Cleveland, the City of Cleveland and the Downtown Cleveland Alliance to engage the public in a discussion about the unprecedented opportunity for economic transformation on Cleveland’s lakefront. Speakers will highlight successful waterfront regeneration projects that have transformed other places, share best practices and present possibilities for Cleveland. The forum’s objective is for people to come away with an understanding of the opportunity that Cleveland has before it by redeveloping 100 acres of prime lakefront land currently occupied by the Port. Become part of the process of shaping how our community can leverage precious assets and mold an exciting new future for the City of Cleveland and surrounding areas.

	04/24/09 Lessons from Ruhr Valley Much like Northeast Ohio, the region has been shaped by the imposing legacy of the industrial age and the unlimited potential of the post-industrial era. In the mid-19th century the Ruhr was one of the most vibrant industrial regions in Europe with an economy based around hundreds of coal mines and steelworks. Following the decline of the coal and steel industry in the 1960s, the Ruhr region transformed itself from a grimy mining area to a modern urban centre based on service industries.	Event page

	04/23/09 Building our Future Beyond Foreclosure: Setting the Stage, Beating the Odds The foreclosure crisis in Cuyahoga County did not happen overnight. Similarly, the strategies for moving our communities and residents Beyond Foreclosure will take time to evolve. Over the coming year, the Levin College Forum will focus on strategies, tactics and projects that are new, creative, environmentally sustainable and invigorating to the marketplace. Challenging times are not new to Cleveland, and on this issue, where no roadmap exists, we have an opportunity to create a new path to our future.	Event page Discussion Questions & Answers

	10/7/08 The Medical Mart The Medical Mart-it sounds like a good idea, but is it? Do Cuyahoga County taxpayers really understand this half-a-billion dollar project? Is this latest public-private partnership a match made in heaven or should taxpayers demand a prenuptial agreement? These were the questions Professor William Bowen posed to his class this summer. His students did their homework and found some very interesting answers. Attend this forum to learn more about the Medical Mart and convention center , its projected costs and benefits to the community , the success of similar projects in other cities , and how to determine the rationale for using public money to subsidize private enterprise.

	10/2/08 The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour The Concord Coalition believes that only with an engaged, informed and demanding public can the nation's fiscal challenges be met. The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour's mission is to cut through the usual partisan rhetoric and stimulate a more realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs. We believe that elected leaders in Washington know there is a problem, but they are unlikely to act unless forced to by their constituents. The Tour began as a series of public forums around the country and now, in addition to those forums, we are organzing in-depth local committees to futher focus attention on our nation's daunting long-term fiscal challenges.

	9/25/08 Beyond Foreclosure: Small Scale Strategies that Work The foreclosure crisis in Cuyahoga County did not happen overnight.

	4/9/08 Maxed Out MaxedOut exposes a business model that involves granting credit to people who can neither manage nor repay the mney that they are being given. Think the lending industry doesn't lend money unless they are sure they will get it back? Wrong. Late fees, over-limit charges and past due interest are all money makers.
