OHIO GLOBAL CITIES INITIATIVE REGIONAL PROFILE About the Global Cities Initiative The Global Cities Initiative, a joint project of Brookings and JPMorgan Chase, aims to equip U.S. metropoli- tan leaders with the information, policy ideas, and partners necessary to bolster their position within the global economy. Brookings' commitment to fact-based independent research, analysis, and policy prescrip- tions will complement JPMorgan Chase's business expertise to help America's metropolitan leaders flour- ish in the changing economic and political landscape. We will convene public and private sector leaders from a range of metropolitan areas for a series of forums each year that will discern best practices and CLEVELAND, OH strategies for economic growth and put these practices into action. GMP: $105.6 b The Next Economy and Ohio The Great Recession's toll on America has motivated a growing chorus of business leaders and economists to call for a rebalancing of the American economy, towards one driven by exports, powered by low carbon, DAYTON, OH fueled by innovation, and rich with opportunity.

GMP: $100.6 b The Metro Program has worked with political, civic, and business leaders in Ohio's major metropolitan areas on a statewide economic growth agenda that builds on the assets of the state's many urban engines.
