(JES Digital Program) Erie, PA and Lublin, Poland: Opportunities and Threats in a Changing World Economy

Erie, PA and Lublin, Poland: Opportunities and Threats in a Changing World Economy

The speakers published an article in 2017 concerning the two cities, their development, and their trajectory. They will be returning to the Jefferson to update their analyses of the two cities since that time. Lublin has faced many changes since 2017, from the effects of Brexit to changing political regimes and being the closest major Polish city to Ukraine, taking in many thousands of refugees. Erie has changed as well, having seen major developments in its downtown and surrounding areas, from the new Erie Insurance building and many other new construction projects downtown. All through this, both cities have had their challenges in demographics and the still threatening Corona Virus. What strategies are these two sister cities pursuing, if any? Join us for a look at these exciting and international perspectives.

This program will be live streamed on the JES Facebook page and will be posted on the JES YouTube page and our website after the live stream.
