\u201cIf cities begin thinking of themselves as engaged in a relationship with their citizens, and if we as citizens begin to consider our emotional connections with our places, we open up new possibilities in community, social, and economic development by including the most powerful of motivators\u2014the human heart\u2014in our toolkit of city-making,\u201d says Peter Kageyama, author of \u201cFor the Love of Cities\u201d and keynote speaker of the YP Community Impact Awards.<\/p>\n

Kageyama cites data from Gallup and the Knight Foundation saying that there is a high correlation between cities with engaged citizens, and economic vitality of a city. He will discuss emotional engagement in the community, and the role that young professionals play in building the community.<\/p>
