1) The U.S. economy has recovered from the Great Recession but still faces problems with slow growth, declining wealth, and lack of inclusion.
2) Metropolitan areas will be key to delivering more balanced and shared economic growth through new approaches to development focused on trade, innovation, and talent.
3) Regional leaders need to embrace strategies like prioritizing people over profits, investing in market assets rather than business recruitment, strengthening trade networks, and tracking long-term economic outcomes.
