Keynote: Achieving the vision of a Smart City • How Pittsburgh transformed from rustbelt city into a forward-thinking technology hub
Tom Murphy

Tom Murphy, the former mayor of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania joins AmCham’s Smart City Summit to share how he revitalized a fading industrial city into a regional hub for technology through a public/private partnership. In addition to leveraging the presence of Carnegie Mellon University to create economic development in technology fields, Murphy led efforts to secure US$1 billion in funding for the development of a new convention center that is the largest certified green building in the United States. He also developed strategic partnerships to transform more than 1,000 acres of abandoned industrial property into new commercial, residential and retail space while overseeing the development of new riverfront trails and parks. How did he do it and what challenges did he face?
