SGA at TEDx – The economics of great places

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Ilana Preuss

I recently had the privilege to share my passion for great places at The George Washington University’s TEDxGWU event.

My talk centered on the importance of understanding that great places are not only core to our communities but that making more great places is key to turning around our economy.
