Furthermore, Dr. Lemieux actively participated in a closed-door workshop titled "Responsive and Responsible Cities: Implementing Urban Futures." This exclusive gathering, comprised of 20 stakeholders, delved into discussions revolving around youth empowerment and workforce development in the urban context. The workshop was followed by a public panel discussion titled "Global Outlook, Local Impact: The Transatlantic Potential for Citizen Engagement” with participants from Atlanta to Los Angeles and Berlin. The panel discussion featured a conversation about Aspen Germany’s “Future Cities – A Transatlantic Townhall Project,” which brings together a group of urban actors from the three aforementioned cities. The project fosters transatlantic discourse on development of cities and its complexities, encouraging transatlantic relations that offer an ideal framework for cooperation and learning.
