I recognize how much it matters that citizens love their city. For Cambridge, this is all about putting the relationship between City and citizens at the heart of municipal government and affairs.
The socio-economic and political challenges facing us today are complex. They are not simple problems easily “fixed” by a recipe; nor are they complicated projects like building a rocket ship with a team of experts. Social Innovation is about understanding that complex social problems are like raising a child, which requires the whole village. We need all stakeholders to have a voice and to influence decisions and policy.
I see collaboration and listening as key skills and attributes for good government to successfully implement consensus-based decision making. I believe that municipal policies and planning need to be evidence-based to apply global research and best practices for a local, Cambridge approach.
