Description
Officials from the Mayor's Office of Equity, Commission on Human Relations, and Office of Sustainability & Resilience discuss how the City of Pittsburgh is committed to improving equity, livability, and resilience in our neighborhoods by adopting and implementing the United Nations 2015 Sustainable Development Goals locally.
A
Good
afternoon,
happy
monday,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
check
out
this
broadcast,
whether
it's
in
the
moment
or
after
the
fact,
my
name
is
josiah
gilliam
and
I'm
the
my
brother's
keeper
coordinator
in
mayor
bill,
peduto's
office
of
equity
and
we've
been
doing
an
ongoing
series
exploring
different
buckets
of
city
activity
and
life
here
in
pittsburgh
through
the
people
that
know
this
work
best
and
taking
special
care
to
explore
the
intersections
at
play.
A
And
today
we
have
a
really
cool
conversation
that
I've
been
really
looking
forward
to
with
a
lot
of
participants.
As
you
can
see,
we're
going
to
talk
about
sustainability,
we're
going
to
talk
about
resilience,
we're
going
to
talk
about
how
pittsburgh
thinks
about
measurement
and
how
pittsburgh
and
other
cities
around
the
world
think
about
this
work,
but
there's
a
really
cool
local
story
here
that
will
really
kind
of
exemplify
what
we're
talking
about.
A
We
have
some
slides
to
show
that'll
break
down
things
even
further
and
we're
just
going
to
try
to
have
a
free-flowing
conversation
about
these
topics.
So
without
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
team
here,
friends
what
I'd
like
for
you
to
do
your
name
and
your
role
and
how
you
come
to
this
work.
What
perspective
are
you
bringing
into
this
conversation?
Let's
start
with
the
mayor's
office:
ricardo
williams,
we'll
start
with
you,
man.
B
Hi,
my
name
is
ricardo
williams,
I'm
the
business
inclusion
manager
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
office
of
equity.
I
guess
the
my
perspective
is
is
how
do
we
kind
of
relate
our
procurement
practices
into
sustainable
goals
into
the
sustainable
goals
that
we
have,
and
how
do
we
utilize
our
partners
locally
to
work
toward
that
north
star
and
be
able
to
bring
it
in?
B
So
my
role
is
basically
doing
the
outreach
and
also
connecting
different
partners
to
our
sustainability
sustainability
goals
and
then
also
leading
it
up
to
a
vlr
which
my
colleagues
will
be
talking
about
more
in
depth.
A
Thank
you
so
much
rick
megan.
C
Hi
everyone,
I'm
megan
stanley,
I'm
the
executive
director
for
the
pittsburgh
commission
on
human
relations.
So
we
are
the
city's
civil
rights
agency.
We
investigate
complaints
of
discrimination
and
we
also
do
outreach
and
education
just
about
human
and
civil
rights,
and
so
a
lot
of
what
we're
talking
about
today
encompasses
those
ideas
and
really
all
of
the
sustainable
development
goals
are
centered
around
equity
in
human
rights
and
how
we
can
be
a
more
equitable
world
and
locally
what
we
can
do
as
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
reach
those
goals
for
our
residents.
C
And
so
my
perspective
is
that
I
spent
almost
a
decade
as
a
social
worker,
and
I
saw
a
lot
of
these
things
on
the
ground
and
really
the
rollout
of
policies
that
were
well
intended,
but
then
didn't
reach
presidents
in
the
way
that
they
were
supposed
to.
So
my
focus
and
my
work
and
my
passion
is
making
sure
that
the
things
that
we
do
in
the
city
at
local
government
levels
really
reaches
residents
in
the
way
that
we
intended
for
them
to
live
their
best
lives.
A
Thank
you
so
much
megan
grant
how
about
you,
man.
We
got
a
special
treat.
Today
we
got
the
resilience
team.
We
got
the
sustainability
team,
sir,
who
you
are
your
role
and
what
perspective
you're,
bringing
to
the
conversation.
E
Hey
everyone,
I'm
rebecca
kiernan,
I'm
a
principal
resilience
planner,
also
in
the
division
of
sustainability
and
resilience
and
city
planning,
and
I
come
from
this.
I
come
at
this
from
a
perspective
of
measurement
and
making
sure
that
the
city
is
strong
in
the
areas
where
we
we
need
to
be
strong
to
be
able
to
handle.
You
know,
shocks
and
stresses
like
we're
currently
experiencing.
F
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
kate
pendrack,
I'm
the
sustainable
development
goals.
Fellow
this
summer,
I'm
a
master's
student
at
carnegie,
mellon
university,
but
for
the
past
several
years
I've
held
various
positions
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
so
my
perspective
that
I'm
bringing
is
sort
of
the
mix
of
an
insider
and
an
outsider
being
able
to
understand
how
the
city
functions
but
able
to
come
at
it
in
a
very
objective
way
to
run
the
sustainable
development
goals
work
this
summer.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
to
each
each
of
you
for
taking
the
time
just
a
note
about
the
broadcast.
We
also
have
two
wonderful
asl
interpreters
with
us.
A
Today
we
have
iris
and
megan
you'll,
see
them
at
different
points
during
the
broadcast,
but,
like
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
a
couple
slides
that
we
want
to
show
and
a
website
that
we're
going
to
scroll
through
to
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
resources
and
break
these
down
a
little
further
for
those
of
us
or
for
those
of
you
that
are
joining
us
during
the
live
broadcast.
You
will
just
see
those
screens.
The
interpreters
will
not
be
visible,
it'll
be
fixed
in
editing
after
the
fact,
so
you'll
continue
to
see
it.
A
We
just
want
to
thank
them
for
their
help
in
making
these
calls
more
accessible,
all
right
friends.
We
have
a
lot
to
get
into
today
and
a
lot
of
topics
and
a
lot
of
definitions.
So,
let's
start
with,
like
a
high
level
overview,
grant,
I'm
going
to
go
to
you.
First,
sir,
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
un
sustainable
development
goals.
D
So
our
engagement
with
the
sdgs
really
began
following
the
completion
of
our
one
pgh
resilience
strategy
being
a
part
of
kind
of
the
global
network
of
cities
through
the
rockefeller
foundation.
100
resilient
cities
network
really
exposed
us
to
kind
of
these
different
conversations
that
were
happening
around
the
world
with
regards
to
sustainability
and
resilience,
and
the
17
goals
that
were
created
by
the
the
un
effectively
became
that
architecture
that
we
started
to
recognize
that
we
were
doing
this
work,
but
not
knowing.
D
We
were
doing
this
work
and,
as
we
completed
the
work
of
the
one
pga
strategy,
we
were
looking
for
different
ways
in
which
we
could
measure
performance
really
to
create
a
system
of
accountability
not
just
for
ourselves,
but
also
to
be
able
to
benchmark
ourselves
against
other
communities
nationally
and
internationally
in
terms
of
identifying
best
practices
and
different
tactics
and
strategies
that
we
might
implement
and
deploy
here
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
achieve
some
of
the
outcomes
that
are
designed
through
the
sdg
process.
D
So
for
that
work
we
began
kind
of
intersecting
this
really
on
the
foundation,
in
the
heels
of
kind
of
the
work
that
rebecca
and
rick
led
with
the
equality
indicators
project.
D
But
what
we
started
to
see
was
these
parallels
between
the
17
sdgs
and
the
81
different
indicators
that
we
identified
through
the
the
equality
indicators
process.
So
we
started
to
map
that,
to
understand
kind
of
you
know
where
we
currently
are
and
realize
that
we're
in
a
really
formative
position
as
a
city
government
and
that
not
many
city
governments
were
really
taking
this
path
in
terms
of
measuring
performance
against
the
sdgs.
D
So
with
that,
we
joined
a
network
that
was
sponsored
by
the
brookings
institution
that
brought
together
ten
other
cities
from
around
the
world
in
the
united
states.
It
consists
of
orlando
new
york,
los
angeles
and
pittsburgh,
and
then
six
other
kind
of
international
cities
and
new
york
city
was
one
of
the
first
then
followed
by
los
angeles
in
developing,
what's
called
a
vlr
or
voluntary
local
review.
D
Typically
kind
of
nation
states
have
taken
kind
of
this,
this
step
in
terms
of
reviewing
their
policies
and
practice
against
those
17
goals,
and
we
are
now
kind
of
both
through
our
adoption
as
an
administration,
but
now
through
kind
of
kate's
work,
starting
to
create
our
own
process
of
local
measurement,
so
really
starting
to
integrate
kind
of
the
work
that
we
do
as
a
local
government
against
these
17
goals.
D
So
it's
been
kind
of
an
internal
process
for
us.
You
know
working
kind
of
at
the
the
micro
level
kind
of
within
city
government,
but
also
kind
of
at
you
know
the
macro
and
the
meso
levels,
effectively
creating
kind
of
international
connections
and
leaning
on
those.
D
But
then
the
other
thing
that
we've
done
is
created
a
local
network
so
working
with
local
non-profit
organizations,
the
private
sector,
through
the
allegheny
conference,
who
has
also
adopted
the
sdgs
carnegie
mellon
university,
who
has
adopted
the
sdgs
to
really
start
to
create
a
local
network
of
best
practices
and
kind
of
sharing
our
insights
in
terms
of
both
measurement
protocols,
but
also
it's
ultimately
about
the
solutions.
What
are
the
policies
and
practices
that
we
can
implement
to
help
improve
people's
lives?.
A
A
D
Yeah,
you
know
so
coming
from
kind
of
the
world
of
sustainability,
which
is
really
based
upon
what
we
call
the
three
e's:
the
equity,
the
environment,
the
economy
and
kind
of
the
intersection
of
those
and
one
of
the
things.
I
always
tell
people
when
they
ask
me
like
well
what
is
sustainability,
I
say:
well,
sustainability.
D
You
know
different
aspects,
whether
that's
our
energy
consumption
or
the
number
of
street
trees
that
we
have.
You
know
these
different
kind
of
aspects
in
in
terms
of
kind
of
the
environmental
and
economic
performance,
but
we
also
felt
the
need
to
really
get
integrated
in
terms
of
how
sustainability
from
a
community
and
individual
humanistic
standpoint
exists,
and
that's
really
what
started.
D
You
know
our
partnership
with
kind
of
rick
and
the
office
of
equity
in
terms
of
integrating
some
of
these
aspects
in
terms
of
how
are
we
really
impacting
people's
everyday
lives
through
the
services
that
we
provide
as
a
local
government,
and
that's
where
the
these
kind
of
worlds
really
start
to
intersect,
and
you
know
ultimately
why
the
sdgs
are
such
an
interesting
framework
in
that
regard,
is
that
they
really
help
foster
cross-sector
collaboration.
The
idea
that
goals,
one
and
three
are
goals.
A
That
makes
sense,
rebecca
I'd
like
to
turn
to
you,
so
we've
kind
of
heard
this
high-level
overview
from
grant
walk
us
through
what
this
actually
looks
like.
So
you
have
these,
these
overarching
goals.
You
have
these,
these
metrics
say
as
a
city
that
you're
focused
on
you're
moving
towards,
but
then
you
also
need
to
engage
with
community
engage
with
residents,
engage
with
the
internal
stakeholders
and
from
an
accountability.
A
Standpoint
start
talking
about
what
this
work
looks
like
and
there's
been
a
number
of
reports
that
pittsburgh
has
been
a
part
of
and
has
published
itself
that
has
led
us
to
where
we
are
now.
Given
your
work
within
the
team
and
and
and
your
role,
how
is
this,
how
does
the
sausage
actually
actually
get
made?
What
does
it
look
like.
E
Sure,
thanks
josiah,
so
you
know
I'm
flashing
my
screen
right
now,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
the
progression
of
reports
that
we've
had
in
2015.
The
city
adopted
p4
standards,
which
is
which
stands
for
people,
planet,
place
and
performance.
E
E
We
then
entered
into
work
with
a
program
called
100
resilient
cities,
which
was
powered
by
the
rockefeller
foundation,
and
this
is
what
brought
me
actually
into
the
city,
so
I
was
funded
through
the
rockefeller
foundation
and
we
developed
what
was
called
a
preliminary
resilience
assessment.
So
we
developed
this
look
at
what
the
city's
shocks
and
stresses
are
so
shocks
are
those
slow.
Sorry
shocks
are
those.
You
know,
one-time
major
events
like
a
global
pandemic,
whereas
stresses
are
these
slow
burning?
E
You
know
underlying
issues
such
as
you
know:
inequality,
for
example,
in
pittsburgh,
and
what
we
did
in
2017
with
the
resilience
strategy
was
try
to
figure
out.
Okay,
we
have
this
profile.
E
How
do
we
make
the
city
stronger
so
that
we're
addressing
those
stresses
underlying
stresses
up
front
so
that
we're
prepared
to
handle
the
shocks
when
they
arise
and
then
in
2018
we
got
into
because
you
know
economic
and
racial
inequality
in
pittsburgh
was
identified
as
a
major
underlying
stress.
We
then
were
able
to
develop
what
was
called
the
pittsburgh
equity
indicators,
which
ripple
talked
a
little
bit
more
about,
and
the
equity
indicators
was.
You
know.
E
We
had
80
indicators
where
we
measured
outcomes
for
two
different
groups:
either
high
and
low
income,
black
and
white
population,
but
we
were
able
to
start
to
pinpoint
some
of
the
the
challenges
that
we
really
need
to
address
to
to
identify
all
those
stresses
to
handle
all
the
stresses.
E
And
then
in
2018
we
developed
the
investment
prospectus,
which
is
a
look
at
the
47
most
important
projects
that
that
we
feel
are
necessary
to
implement
in
pittsburgh
to
really
be
a
resilient
city
and
those
are
all
costed
out
so
that
we,
you
know,
have
them
ready
to
go
when
grants
arise
or
know
what
we're
applying
for
in
in
budget
season
and
based
on
all
of
that,
you
know
the
the
sustainable
development
goals.
E
You
know
came
out
fairly
recently,
so
we're
already
into
our
process
when
the
sustainable
development
goals
were
really
released,
but
we've
now
we
now
see
them
as
a
measurement
framework.
So
originally
you
know
the
equity
indicators
report
was.
E
It
was
a
great
beginning
framework,
but
the
sdgs
are
a
little
bit
more
of
a
holistic
view,
so
we're
looking
at
the
sdgs
and
all
17
of
them
so
that
we're
you
know,
mapping
these
different
reports
to
those
sdgs
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
not
seeing
any
gaps
and
community
engagement
wise
throughout
this
entire
process.
You
know:
we've
engaged
more
than
2500
pittsburghers,
so
we've
really
made
sure
that
we've,
you
know
built
you
know.
P4
was
just
the
the
values
framework.
E
The
preliminary
resilience
assessment
was,
you
know,
an
analysis
of
what
our
problems
are.
The
resilience
strategy
was
how
to
address
those
problems.
The
equity
indicators
report
was
to
make
sure
that
you
know
those
problems
are
going
to
be
addressed
so
that
they're,
equitable
and
everybody
has
the
chance
to
thrive,
and
then
the
investment
prospectus
identifies
what
what
those
projects
need
to
be
so
they've
all
built
on
on
top
of
each
other,
so
that
engagement
that
we've
done
up
front
and
that
we've
continued
to
do
throughout
is
is
really
cumulative.
A
It's
it's,
it's
so
useful,
seeing
it
broken
out
in
this
manner,
and
it
also
demonstrates
it
might
not
be
immediately
obvious,
but
this
cross-sector
approach
that
grant
mentioned
a
second
ago.
You
have
p4.
This
is
the
hinds
endowments
local
partners
with
this
framework
and
yet-
and
then
you
mentioned,
we
do
like
a
hundred
zillion
cities
work
through
the
rockefeller
foundation
and
stuff
like
this.
When
did
it
start
to
become
apparent
that
this
localized
focus
could
be
mapped
to
international
goals
like
when?
Did
it
start
to
be
a?
E
Yeah
I
mean
I,
I
think,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
measurement
that
we
want
to
do
against
ourselves
first
and
I
think
the
the
sustainable
development
goals
really
allow
for
that
holistic.
Look
of
you
know
how
are
we
doing
on
our
own
and
then
how
are
we
doing
compared
to
other
cities
and
how
are
we
doing
globally?
E
So
I
mean
especially
when
you
think
about
you
know
like
environmental,
so
you
know
I
come
from
the
sustainability
and
resilience
division,
so
we
think
in
environmental
terms,
a
lot
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
do
on
emissions
reduction
really
has
more
of
that
global
flavor
to
it.
So
you
know
when
you're
able
to
take.
You
know
the
the
things
that
we're
doing
you
know,
especially
environmentally,
that
will
benefit
us
locally.
We
can
also
see
how
that
projects
out
globally,
which
is
really
helpful.
A
That
makes
sense.
Thank
you,
rebecca
rick,
I'd
like
to
talk
with
you
man.
He
mentioned
the
equity
indicators
and
certainly
in
my
time,
in
the
mayor's
office
and
before
I
think
quite
frankly,
this
is
something
I've
heard
you
speak
a
lot
about.
I
will
have
some
questions
about
what
the
local
landscape
looks
like,
but
given
how
you've
heard
the
conversation,
what
comes
to
your
mind
when
you
think
about
this
topic
and
and
the
work
of
the
equity
indicators.
B
Well,
the
equity
indicators
like
rebecca,
had
said
it
gave
us
a
a
framework
of
measurement
locally
to
look
at
ourselves
in
those
80
areas
and,
as
you
look
at
unfortunately,
with
this
global
pandemic,
you
know
the
major
issues
that
rise
up:
food
and
security,
housing,
employment,
education,
gender
equality.
These
are
all
issues
that
are
kind
of
raising
up
and
they
were
already
in
they're
already
measured
in
the
indicators
that
these
were
areas
of
inequality.
B
And
now
it's
just
exasperated
even
more
so.
This
is
a
situation
where
it's
not
a
nice
to
it's,
it's
it's
a.
We
have
to
do
or
a
must
do
as
we
kind
of
move
forward
in
developing
this
framework
and
connecting
with
residents
where
they
are
right,
where
they
are
and
being
able
to
service
where
they
are,
and
that's
where
the
office
of
equity
is
coming
in
play
with
all
the
different
new
initiatives
that
were
coming
through
throughout
this
office
is
concerned.
B
So
it
really
fits
nicely
in
our
progression
in
this
work
and
the
sdgs
allow
us
to
use
a
framework
not
just
locally
but
like
nationally
and
internationally
to
do
this,
and
so
a
lot
of
discussions
that
I've
had
with
you
and
my
colleagues
is
that
how
who
do
we,
partner
with
to
be
able
to
kind
of
reach
into
the
community,
be
able
to
explain?
B
I
guess
there
was
a
a,
I
guess,
a
dichotomy
so
to
speak,
of
where
you
have
this
theoretical
framework
for
sustainability
is
concerned,
but
also
how
to
kind
of
we
relate
that,
and
so
now
we're
able
to
bring
those
pieces
together
in
a
nice
way
that
people
see
the
work
and
then
they
say
oh
yeah
they're
doing
national
work,
but
they're
also
servicing
us
here
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
A
That's
really
helpful,
so
let's
bring
it
to
a
specific
example,
kind
of
thought
exercise
rick
you
and
I
have
both
been
to
home
with
children's
village
events.
Let's
let's
say
that
we're
at
a
home
with
children's
village
community
dinner.
They
do
that
about
quarterly
in
homewood.
You
know,
I
guess
it
would
have
to
be
virtual
right
now,
but
they
were
there
engaging
with
the
community
and
how
would
you
frame
what
the
work
around
the
sdgs
given
these
intersections
like?
A
B
You
know
in
our
prep
call
we
were
talking
about
lighting
and
you
know
the
energy
use
of
the
lighting
and
how
expensive
it
is.
You
know
for
the
fluorescent
bulbs
and
so
forth
in
our
homes
right
now
and
a
lot
of
people
still
have
those
fluorescent
bulbs
compared
to
led
lighting
and
the
led
lighting
is
more.
They
save
energy
for
the
most
part
they
last
longer
and
the
cost
goes
down,
and
so
now
we're
relating
that
to
the
pockets
of
people.
You
know
you
figure
our
energy
bills.
B
A
Very
helpful,
thank
you,
rick,
okay,
so
let's
talk
about
the
local
landscape.
It's
been
mentioned
a
couple
times
and
you've
alluded
to
it
that
there's
a
number
of
organizations
in
different
sectors
that
are
thinking
about
the
sdgs.
Many
of
them
have
adopted
the
sdgs
or
some
of
them,
etc.
What
can
you
tell
us
about
the
kind
of
regional
conversation
about
this
and
the
potential
for
cross-sector
collaboration
from
here.
B
Well,
while
we
were
doing
the
equity
indicators,
we
we
partnered
with
the
forbes
fund
in
fred
brown
to
be
a
mediator
and
he
has
been
a
leader
in
kind
of
moving
that
forward
in
his
organization
in
regards
to
how
he
does
grant
me,
and
so
a
lot
of
his
grant
making
out
in
his
application
is,
he
has,
where
is
your
work
related
to
the
sdgs
and
that's
far
as
his
decision
making
so
now
he's
already
aligned
people
who
receive
funding
from
him
of
what
work
is
already
being
done
with
the
nonprofit
sector.
B
You
know
that
received
money
from
the
forbes
fund
and
so
we've
already
kind
of
engaged
him
in
this
process.
In
doing
that,
and
a
lot
of
his
work
is
aligned
to
that.
Then
we
decided
we
needed
to
be
able
to
be
on
the
ground
and
being
able
to
develop
an
education
network
in
regards
to
that
and
start
convening
with
this
process
with
other
stakeholders.
So
we
partnered
with
the
coral
pittsburgh
in
coral
pittsburgh.
B
A
Can
you
give
us
some
some
examples
in
like
the
corporate
community
that
you've
seen
that
you
think
are
interesting
for
how
some
folks
have
approached
it?.
B
I
was
sharing
with
you
that
I
was
on
a
ted.
I
watched
the
ted
talk
earlier
about
ikea
and
how
they're
dealing
with
solo
planner
panels
and
how
they're
stocking
their
shelves.
B
You
know
the
led
lighting
example
that
I
just
gave
and
and
so
forth,
and
how
they're
restructuring
their
leadership
that
be
gender,
the
gender
equality
on
there
and
so
they've
already
kind
of
bought
into
that
process
you
know
and
how
they
partner,
with
different
foundations
and
organizations
dealing
with
sdgs
and
so
forth,
with
the
needs
within
those
goals
I
mentioned
to
you
cavestro.
B
You
know-
and
you
know
some
people
may
debate
on
you
know
of
them
adopting
various
pieces
of
it,
but
you
know
far
as
their
framework
and
their
business
model.
They
said,
okay,
we're
we're
going
to
say
on
the
high
level,
we're
going
to
be
involved
with
a
number
of
them
and
then
some
we're
going
to
have
just
a
little
bit
of
activity
and
then
last
you
know
that
we're
supporting
efforts
that
do
that.
B
We
know
we
don't
do
these
things,
but
we're
all
supporting
these
efforts
and,
as
you
know,
and
as
we
have
these
discussions,
the
interconnectivity
of
it
all-
we've
adopted
it
as
far
as
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
our
various
departments
are
being
aligned
with
that
work,
and
so
how
are
they
doing
our
business?
How
we're
doing
our
business
models
and
encouraging
other
people
to
use
their
business
models
as
they
move
forward?
B
This
is
a
this
is
a
whole
effort,
regionally
and
nationally,
and
so
us
as
a
city,
we
don't
have
the
money
to
to
handle
all
of
the
sdgs,
and
we
understand
that
and
we
understand
that
we
have
to
collaborate
with
various
entities
that
are
doing
the
work
like
sustainability
pittsburgh,
like
green
building
alliance,
the
amazing
work
at
four
one,
two
rescue
that's
doing
to
expand
out
and
basically
their
work
that
they've
done
in
dealing
with
the
pandemic
and
changing
their
model
to
serve
the
needs
of
our
residents.
A
I
appreciate
that
one
last
question
for
you
and
then
I
want
to
talk
with
with
grant
and
kate
about
how
what
the
the
process
looks
like
moving
forward
from
here.
Rick
you
mentioned
that
this
lets
different
entities,
kind
of
take
a
look,
their
own
operations,
their
own
objectives
and
see
how
they
might
play
you're
a
member
of
the
gender
equity
commission
here.
How
does
this
work
look
even
to
like
the
commission
level
and
how?
How
do
you
think
the
approach
is
there.
B
Well,
I
mean
the
the
history
of
the
gender
equity.
It
started
as
the
bill
of
rights
for
women
that
started
in
19
1979,
and
so
we
based
that
off
of
a
the
cedaw
model,
was
the
convention
to
end
discrimination
against
women,
and
so
they
are
already
locked
into
goal.
Number
five
and
most
as
far
as
the
sdgs
are
concerned,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
work
that
the
gender
equity
commission
is
is
working
off
of
those
sdgs.
A
It
thank
you,
so
much
grant
kate.
So
you
hear
this
conversation-
and
I
remember
looking
at
the
slide
here
and
this
idea
of
you
know
you're
doing
this
local
assessment
you're,
comparing
with
other
cities,
then
you're
saying
with
the
investment
prospectus,
here's
what
in
terms
of
like
funding
and
budgets,
how
we
can
approach
this
here
and
now.
It
looks
like
this.
Voluntary
local
review
is
the
next
step
in
that
process.
A
We
start
to
get
to
engage
down
to
even
more
of
a
micro
level,
as
time
goes
on
frame
this
up
for
us
and
then
tell
us
how
how
this
actually
works.
D
Yeah,
so
one
of
the
things
that
you
see
with
nation
states
or
kind
of
one
of
the
objectives
of
the
sdgs
was
to
create
what
is
called
a
voluntary
national
review
and
in
the
absence
of
that
being
done
here
in
the
u.s,
several
cities
have
now
started
to
take
the
mantle
to
say:
hey
what
does
this
really
look
like
at
the
local
level
and
then
voluntarily
report
kind
of
our
progress
towards
the
global
goals
on
a
voluntary
basis?
D
You
know
so
what
what
we
looked
at
was
kind
of
on
the
heels
of
committing
to
the
sdgs,
we're
going
to
need
some
capacity
to
help
us
internally.
You
know
basically
shine
a
mirror
in
front
of
our
face
and
see
like
you
know:
where
are
we
strong,
where
we
weak
and
effectively?
How
can
we
improve
ourselves
and
that's
where
we
were
able
to
bring
kate
on
board?
D
Who
had
you
know
kind
of
the
great
experience
of
already
working
within
the
city,
but
stepping
outside
of
city
government
for
a
little
bit
and
then
have
the
ability
now,
as
a
fellow
through
carnegie,
mellon
university,
to
step
back
in
and
start
to
make
those
connections
between
each
of
the
different
departments
and
I'll?
D
Let
her
talk
about
that
in
a
second,
but
what's
already
been
interesting,
I
think,
is
just
our
integration
as
a
project
team
having
the
ability
to
interface
through
the
office
of
equity
and
the
division
of
sustainability
and
resilience
and
city
planning
and
the
commission
on
human
relations
and
all
the
different
kind
of
facets
of
city
government.
We
all
start
to
see
things
knit
together
in
a
different
way,
but
ultimately,
how
can
we
make
progress?
Moving
forward?
D
So
in
the
energy
space
and
energy
efficiency,
you
know
people
are
looking
at
that
from
the
amount
of
energy
people
are
consuming,
but
from
the
commission
on
human
relations
standpoint
they're,
looking
at
you
know
the
cost
burden
that
households
are
facing
and
from
the
office
of
equity
you're,
seeing
kind
of
the
impacts
on
people's
mental
and
physical
health
and
well-being.
So
all
of
a
sudden
kind
of
these
various
stressors
that
rebecca
talks
about
starts
to
mold
together
and
what
you
see
then,
is
these
confluences
of
the
venn
diagram
right.
D
Where
then
you're
able
to
then
start
to
prioritize?
Oh
hey!
This
is
a
problem
in
my
shop.
It's
a
problem
in
your
shop.
How
do
we
start
to
work
together
to
develop
a
really
cohesive
solution
and
that's
kind
of
what
kate's
starting
to
do
for
us
is
to
start
to
network
that
stuff
together,
and
she
can
give
you
a
look
at
that.
A
Thanks:
okay,
yeah:
let's:
let's
walk
through
it
thanks
for
taking
the
time
to
be
on
the
call
today
you
and
I
first
met
because
you
were
already
working
in
the
mayor's
office.
When
I
joined
working
with
the
mayor,
we
were
buddies
with
river,
who
I
didn't
tell
you.
I
saw
not
too
long
ago
within
the
past
couple
weeks
on
a
bike
ride.
I
know
right
he's
doing
great
all
the
zoomies
shout
out
to
that
whole
family.
A
So
let's
talk
about
this
work,
voluntary,
local
review,
I
kind
of
get
a
similar
scenario
to
rick.
If
you
were
at
a
community
meeting
with
me
and
we
were
gonna
explain
to
the
community
what
this
is,
how
would
you
go
about
doing
it
and
then
let's
talk
about
what
it
actually
looks
like.
F
So
what
the
city
of
pittsburgh
is
doing
this
summer
is
essentially
doing
our
first
voluntary
local
review
and
that
is
to
establish
a
baseline
for
us
to
compare
future
progress
off
of
so
we
know
where
we're
starting.
So
I
think
it's
definitely
important
to
like
you
said,
there's
a
lot
of
acronyms
and
definitions.
F
I
think
it's
always
important
to
start
and
just
explain
everything
so
now
that
we've
we've
sort
of
established
what
vlrs
are
I'll
go
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
in
what
word
our
vlr
is
looking
like
this
summer,
so
we've
broken
it
up
into
three
phases:
the
first
two
which
will
happen
this
summer
and
then
phase
three
will
happen
after
the
report
is
published.
F
So
phase
one
is
localization.
So,
as
has
been
discussed
by
multiple
people
on
the
call,
the
sdgs
are
written
in
a
national
context,
they're
written
on
a
global
scale,
so
on
paper,
they're,
not
necessarily
super
relevant
to
cities.
The
essence
of
them
is
that's.
Why
we're
utilizing
them,
but
there
needs
to
be
some
tweaking
to
make
them
as
beneficial
to
us
as
possible.
F
So
that
was
our
first
phase
real
recognizing.
How
can
we
bring
the
sdgs
to
pittsburgh
in
the
best
way
possible
for
us
to
utilize
them
and
then
phase
two
is
mapping
and
that's
the
phase
we're
currently
in
now
we're
just
finishing
up.
Mapping
is
where
we
are
taking
all
pittsburgh
goals,
targets,
projects,
initiatives,
those
types
of
things
and
we're
mapping
it
to
the
scg's.
F
I
was
very
lucky
in
that
all
of
the
one
pgh
stuff
had
already
been
mapped
by
rebecca
and
a
former
cnu
student,
so
I
got
to
come
in
and
really
just
hone
in
on
what
projects
the
city
is
doing,
and
so
a
few
different
exercises
were
done
this
past
month.
The
first
was
a
survey
that
was
sent
out
to
all
city
employees
for
them
to
self-report
on
projects
and
initiatives
that
they
are
doing,
as
they
see
them
tying
into
the
sdgs,
and
then
our
second
exercise
was
a
series
of
round
table
discussions.
F
We
grouped
the
sdgs
as
best
as
we
could,
as
I
think,
has
been
mentioned.
The
17
sdgs
are
all
interconnected.
It's
not
really
easy
to
break
them
up
because
they're
all
related,
but
we
did
our
best
and
we
had
a
series
of
five
really
successful,
roundtable
discussions
where
we
brought
in
city
employees,
employees
of
the
authorities
here
in
the
in
the
region,
and
we
just
talked
about
the
work
and
the
projects
that
everyone
is
doing,
and
one
of
the
great
benefits
of
that
exercise.
F
Is
it's
not
just
about
soliciting
that
information
for
the
review?
It's
also
about
creating
those
connections
that
didn't
exist
before
one
thing
that
I
loved
to
hear
from
the
roundtable
discussions
was
people
were
setting
up
meetings
to
talk
further
after
the
roundtable
discussion
and
establishing
those
those
connections
and
breaking
down
the
silos
of
our
department
so
that
they
could
better
collaborate
on
issues
that
they're
working
on,
and
that
goes
for
just
within
the
city
city
to
authority.
F
Just
within
the
authorities
like
it
was,
it
was
fantastic
and
then
we're
also
now
taking
a
look
at
areas
where
we
might
not
have
got
the
information
that
we
needed
and
we're
hosting
a
series
of
bilateral
meetings
and
just
doing
some
last
minute,
information
finding
and
then
we'll
be
finishing
up
phase
two
of
mapping
by
publishing
our
voluntary
local
review,
which
will
be
a
report
and
then
phase
three
will
be
gap.
Analysis.
It's
not
just
about
doing
a
report,
checking
a
box
saying
that
you've
done
it
it's
about
recognizing.
Where
are
we
not
doing
enough?
F
A
That
makes
sense.
Thank
you
so
much
just
one
last
question
for
the
sustained
sustainability
resilience
team
in
general.
I'm
curious.
You
know
it's
been
a
number
of
years.
You
all
have
been
working
within
this
field,
but
specifically
with
and
for
the
city
around.
This
has
I'm
curious
in
your
perspective
on
how
people
have
engaged
with
this
conversation.
Are
you
seeing
kind
of
to
katelyn's
point
a
growth
in
like
organic
enthusiasm
and
interest
around
this?
F
I
can
really
quickly
on
this
just
from
being
at
carnegie
mellon,
which,
as
grant
said,
has
already
signed
on
to
the
sdgs
there's
a
lot
of
excitement
in
the
university
space
as
well
as
just
as
after
we've
explained
the
sdgs
such
as
in
the
round
table
discussions
or
in
the
survey.
F
We
aren't
really
having
to
explain
to
people
why
this
is
important.
They
get
it
and
they're
excited
about
it
and
they're.
One
of
the
last
questions
that
we
would
ask
in
the
round
table
is:
how
could
we,
how
could
you
utilize
the
sdgs
to
further
your
work
or
how
can
the
sdg
pgh
as
it's
been
dubbed?
How
can
this
work
benefit
you
and
there's
so
many
ideas
about
the
future
of
this
work
and
how
we
can
use
this
framework
to
to
better
the
the
lives
of
everyone
in
the
city?
F
So,
to
answer
your
question,
I
have
found
that
there
is
a
lot
of
organic
excitement
over
the
sdgs.
There's
a
reason
we're
doing
this
and
it's
definitely
making
me
feel
very
fulfilled
in
my
work.
So
that's
just
speaking
from
from
my
experience
talking
with
people
about
the
sdgs.
Thank
you
grant
rebecca.
D
Yeah,
I
I
just
jump
in
real
quickly,
which
is
you
know.
One
of
the
things
is
that
sustainability
by
its
nature
is
a
very
complex
place,
right,
you're,
talking
about
systems,
changes
and
shifts
and
finding
ways
in
which
you
can
tame
that
complexity
and
create
bridges
for
people
to
walk
across
is
really
an
important
part
of
that
pathway,
and
you
know,
as
we
began
or
not
really,
you
know
in
the
early
ages
of
kind
of
our
work,
rebecca
talked
about
the
preliminary
resilience
assessment.
D
One
of
the
major
stressors
that
we
have
in
pittsburgh
is
this
issue
of
fragmentation,
and
that
is
often
viewed
in
terms
of
just
a
government
lens.
We
have
a
lot
of
different
types
of
governments,
but
it
really
extends
into
other
sectors
as
well
and
between
sectors
so
finding
ways
in
which
we
can
help
facilitate
kind
of
that.
Cross-Sector
collaboration
is
really
important.
D
You
know,
so
the
sdgs
help
provide
that
type
of
framework.
The
second
thing
that's
been
really
interesting.
I
think,
and
rick
could
probably
attest
to
this,
as
well
as
we've
organized
locally,
with
groups
like
the
forbes
funds
and
coro
and
the
ywca
and
others.
It
has
been
to
point
cake
point,
a
really
organic
process,
where
every
meeting
that
we've
had
with
that
group,
it
seems
to
kind
of
grow
in
terms
of
hey.
E
I
would
just
add
really
quickly
too,
whereas
we've
seen
a
lot
of
really
good
and
positive
engagement
and
a
lot
of
buy-in
from
you
know:
institutions,
the
non-profit
sector,
the
universities
and
and
the
corporate
arena.
I
think
you
know.
Other
cities
have
had
a
lot
of
success,
bringing
that
down
to
the
resident
level,
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
that's
in
that
space.
E
B
If
I
could,
you
know,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
pittsburgh
size
rsdgs,
and
you
know
we
have
different
models
internationally
and
locally
to
look
from,
like
hawaii
greengrove
had
different
community
meetings
and
so
forth
compared
to
orlando,
with
chris
cato's
work
so,
and
we
have
bristol
that
I
would
say
that
would
be
the
best
that
I've
seen
in
regards
to
international
and
local
work
and
how
they
engage
their
leadership
and
then
how
they
are
charged
as
far
as
their
different
departments
and
how
they're
reaching
their
sdgs
in
in
multiple
areas.
B
So
we
have
different
models.
We
just
have
to
pittsburgh
size,
our
malls,
but
also
our
goals
and
our
targets
that
relate
to
the
the
regular
residents
in
the
community
for
on
a
neighborhood
level,
and
so,
if
we're
able
to
accomplish
that,
we
have
buy-in
on
all
levels
and,
as
grant
had
mentioned
the
partnerships
that
we
started
to
create.
B
We
also
had
to
look
at
how
do
we
talk
in
their
language
for
them
to
understand
it,
for
them
to
implement
use,
and
so
that's
kind
of
where
we're
at
now?
At
this
point,
looking
at
the
different
languages
on
the
multiple
levels,
whether
it
be
non-profit
corporate
universities-
so
you
know
so-
the
vlr
helps
us
do
that
and
as
well
as
the
sdgs
and
being
able
to
pittsburgh
eyes,
our
targets.
A
And
the
track
record
of
this
work
at
this
point-
we're
not
talking
about
a
single
report
at
this
place
at
this
point,
we're
not
talking
about
even
like
a
series
of
tweets
at
this
point.
There's
a
body
of
work
here
and
there's
a
slide
we
didn't
get
to
today,
maybe
later
in
the
conversation
where
you
can
see
what
that
mapping
kind
of
looks
like
where
some
of
our
local
objectives
and
how
they
tie
directly
in
it,
reminds
me
of
community
meetings.
A
I've
gone
to
with,
like
the
larmer
consensus
group,
for
example,
it
wasn't
framed
as
far
as
the
sdgs,
but
you
have
residents
talking
about
how
they
put
a
cistern
in
their
backyard
and
it
reduced
their
utility
cost
and
they
were
able
to
use
this
water
in
different
ways,
and
that
is
the
that's
the
same
work.
That's
the
the
same
idea
up,
but
down
to
that
to
that
micro
level
megan
before
I
go
down
too
much
of
a
macro,
mezzo
and
micro
rabbit
hole.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience
and
for
listening
to
this
conversation.
I'm
very
curious
where
your
mind
goes
listening
to
what's
been
said,
but
I
wonder
if
you
could
take
the
time
to
explain
to
us
the
work
that
you
do
and
what
exactly
a
commission
on
human
relations
is.
C
Sure,
well,
thank
you
all
I
mean
you
guys
have
all
been
doing
this
work
for
longer
than
I
have
and
not
to
jump
ahead
in
the
question,
but
I
just
hearing
this
team
talk
about
these
things
always
brings
up
so
many
thoughts
for
me
about
if
I,
as
a
public
official,
didn't
know
about
all
of
this
right
like
what
do
our
residents
know
and
so
really,
how
do
we
get
this
information
out
there
but
more
to
come
on
that
the
commission
on
human
relations,
as
I
said
in
my
introduction,
we're
actually
celebrating
our
65th
year
this
year,
so
we
are
one
of
the
oldest
commissions
in
the
country
started
in
1955,
and
so
we
investigate
complaints
of
discrimination
in
housing,
employment
and
public
accommodations.
C
We
also
do
outreach
and
education
so
right
now
we're
working,
for
example,
on
a
youth
outreach
series
that
will
involve
some
different
contests
around
art
and
media
to
really
understand,
particularly
at
this
moment
in
time.
Right
like
what
does
civil
rights
mean
to
us
in
pittsburgh?
What
does
inequality
mean?
How
does
it
show
up
in
our
daily
lives?
C
C
We
tend
to
be
reactive
right,
so
somebody
brings
us
a
problem
and
then
we're
working
on
it.
We're
investigating
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
a
remedy,
we're
trying
to
mediate
a
case.
I
think
the
city
government
and
a
lot
of
local
governments
tend
to
be
reactive
in
a
lot
of
ways.
Right
like
we
see
a
problem
and
then
we're
trying
to
fix
it.
I
think
what
the
sdgs
can
do.
There's
a
couple
of
things.
I
think
one
to
rick's
point.
It
can
give
us
a
common
language.
C
So,
yes,
we
are
doing
like
work,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
good
things,
but
if
we
can
ground
that
in
a
common
language,
so
we
can
all
say
I'm
working
around
goal,
5
right
now,
right,
I'm
really
working
on
gender
equality
at
the
commission.
We
touch
a
lot
of
these.
We
work
on
no
poverty,
we're
working
on
reduced
inequalities,
gender
equality,
peace,
justice
and
strong
institutions,
and
that's
a
really
important
one
right
now.
So
I
think,
instead
of
saying
we're
doing
all
of
these
great
things.
A
C
Sure
so
the
commission
is
actually
an
independent
part
of
the
city
which
sounds
odd
right
because
we're
city
employees,
but
we're
part
of
the
home
rule
charter
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
to
be
an
independent
body.
So
we
don't
fall
under
any
administration.
We
do
obviously
work
with
the
administration
and
different
departments
and
with
city
council,
but
we
also
hold
ourselves
really
responsive
to
the
community.
C
So
we
because
we
investigate
and
we
can
investigate
the
city
as
a
housing
provider
as
an
employer
as
delivering
public,
accommodations
and
services.
It's
important
that
we
maintain
independence
and
neutrality,
and
that
also
allows
us
to
sort
of
have
our
feet
in
both
worlds
of
understanding,
some
of
the
inner
operations
of
local
government,
while
seeing,
as
you
pointed
out
before
some
of
the
fragmentation
and
how
some
things
don't
get
out
to
residents,
and
so
we
hear
from
residents
about
these
issues.
A
Makes
a
lot
of
sense,
so
I
wonder
what
how
you
would
frame
the
concept
of
equity,
given
the
work
that
you
do
it's.
It
might
seem
kind
of
obvious
at
first
glance,
but
I
mean
you're
all
the
way
from
the
systemic
level
down
to
individual.
You
know
neighbors.
What's
the
role
of
equity
in
the
work
that
you
do.
C
I
mean
equity
is
our
guiding
light
and
it's
something
that
I
think
will
always
be
striving
for.
There
are
so
many
issues
you
know.
For
example,
I
can
say
I
fully
believe
housing
is
a
human
right
so
like
the
right
to
affordable,
safe,
decent
free
from
discrimination.
Housing
is
a
human
right
that
we're
all
entitled
to,
but
we
aren't
there
yet
and
in
65
years
of
doing
this
work
just
in
pittsburgh,
we
aren't
there
and
I
think
that
these
things
change
over
time.
C
I
think
equity
for
me
from
a
government
standpoint
is
also
moving
away
from
just
these
are
our
priorities,
or
these
are
the
catch
phrases
and
I
don't
want
sdgs
to
sort
of
become
that,
but
this
is
really
what
we're
doing.
This
is
our
plan
to
make
things
better,
that
we're
constantly
elevating
lived
experience.
We
are
getting
feedback
from
the
community
and
we're
not
just
staying
in
silos.
C
As
director
of
the
commission,
that's
actually
been
one
of
the
harder
things
to
sort
of
understand
how
different
government
departments
can
do
great
work,
but
then
you
might
not
hear
about
it,
and
why
is
that?
And
how
can
we
have
a
more
horizontal
structure
where
we're
all
sharing
these
ideas
and
that
residents
get
to
play
a
part
in
that
even
going
down
to
things
like
making
the
budget
right
like
it's,
it's
taxpayer
money.
C
How
can
residents
be
a
part
of
the
decision
making
about
prioritizing
where
money
goes
so
for
me,
equity
is,
is
really
broad-based
and
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
lot
of
accountability
around
this
and
I'm
hoping
that
the
sdgs
again
can
lend
us
this
common
language
so
that
we
can
say
you
said
that
you
were
working
on
no
poverty,
but
I'm
still
seeing
poverty
all
around
me.
What
are
we
doing
about
this,
and
how
will
we
get
there.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
You
mentioned
too
that's
an
idea
that
it
gives
a
chance
to
break
down
some
of
these
silos
and
there's
also
collaboration
between
state
departments
within
government,
but
also
cross-sector
collaboration.
You
all
have
a
really
cool
partnership
with
create
lab.
I
wondered
if
you
would
talk
to
us
about
how
that
came
to
be
what
it's
focused
on,
and
I
think
you
have
some
something
to
show
us
while
we,
while
we
chat.
C
How
have
things
changed,
which
is
sometimes
the
story
of
how
things
have
gotten
better
and
sometimes
it's
how
things
have
gotten
worse
or
they
haven't
changed
you'll
see
here
we
have.
One
of
our
main
stories
is
about
affordability
and
fair
housing,
and
I
know
that
housing
is
something
on
everyone's
mind
right
now
during
the
pandemic,
with
an
eviction
moratorium,
that's
only
set
to
last
for
another
month
that
was
luckily
extended
with
people.
C
You
know
not
being
able
to
pay
rent
right
now
and
even
before
that,
with
a
shortage
last
week,
counted
of
20
000,
affordable
units,
but
then
huge
new
developments
going
in
and
who
do
those
developments
serve.
So
I
won't
actually
click
on
this,
because
I'm
worried
that
it's
a
bit
too
much
data
for
a
screen
share,
but
anybody
can
go
onto
this
site.
C
Who
is
getting
the
benefit
of
development
and
changes
over
time?
And
where
do
we
need
to
really
focus
our
attention?
C
So
one
example
is
that
we
have
a
pittsburgh
in
the
environment
story
that
we
were
lucky
enough
to
work
with
dr
jamil
bayon
from
urban
kind
institute,
and
he
and
I
for
earth
day
this
week
or
this
year
did
a
presentation
really
talking
about
when
we
look
at
traditionally
black
or
low-income
communities
and
then
the
rates
of
childhood
asthma
that
needs
hospitalization
or
urgent
care
and
we're
looking
at
pollution
sources
in
pittsburgh.
So
all
these
ideas
that
grant
and
rebecca
and
kate
and
rick
touched
on,
but
then
really
taking
it
out
to
the
community.
C
So
not
just
what
is
it
doing
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
as
a
government?
But
how
are
these
decisions
affecting
residents
and
children
and
the
next
generation?
And
what
can
we
do
to
make
that
better
for
people?
The
first
thing
is
all
public
data,
so
anybody
can
go
on
to
these
they're
fully
explorable.
You
can
actually
zoom
in
basically
to
where
you
live,
and
you
can
look
at
what's
happening
in
your
neighborhood
josiah,
you
mentioned
being
at
community
meetings.
C
You
can
be
at
a
community
meeting
and
you
can
look
at
your
neighborhood
and
show
changes
over
time,
whether
it's
demographics
or
evictions,
or
you
want
to
look
at
the
tree.
The
benefit
of
trees
planted
and
maintained
by
the
city,
all
sorts
of
different
things
and
we're
always
adding
to
this,
and
we
are
actually
working
right
now,
with
kate
and
with
tyler
who's,
another
intern
on
creating
a
pittsburgh
specific
sdg
data
story.
A
That's
terrific,
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
We'll
make
sure
that's
linked
in
the
in
the
notes,
show
notes
so
to
speak
it
in
the
chat
as
well,
so
that
folks
can
do
a
deeper
dive.
I've
seen
some
of
the
visualizations
that
had
the
privilege
of
seeing
some
of
them
during
the
gear
training
last
year,
looking
at
housing
in
particular,
and
it's
fascinating.
It's
just
super
interesting
to
take
a
look
at
it.
Quite
actually,
the
last
one
of
these
equity
series
conversations
we
did
was
around
housing.
A
Folks
can
check
out
that
conversation
too,
to
learn
from
leaders
in
that
space,
but
it's
just
a
great
example
of
where
not
it's
not
just
esoteric
cross-sector
collaboration,
but
what
are
the
tools
that
it
gives?
Well
now
we
have
a
way
to
to
do
even
storytelling
down
to
the
neighborhood
level,
using
data
that's
available
to
really
exemplify
what
it
is
that
we're
talking
about
I'd
like
to
open
up
the
conversation
everybody
here.
What
is
you
know?
A
We
talk
about
this
idea
of
resilience,
sustainability
and
equity,
and
yet
you
know
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
global
pandemic
and
and
quite
frankly,
a
lot
of
the
investments
in
this
in
this
work
has
paid
off.
I
listened
to
what
the
mayor
says
about
the
position
we're
in
as
a
city
and
a
lot
of
the
the
foresight
into
treating
this
like
a
priority,
has
seemed
to
pay
off
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
currently.
What
does
the
future
of
this
work?
D
I
mean
one
one
place
that
I
would
start
is
that
when
we
think
about
the
global
pandemic,
you
know
one
of
the
rebecca-
and
I
had
this
conversation
on
friday
with
our
partners
from
the
rand
corporation,
who
helped
develop
the
preliminary
resilience
of
assessment
for
us,
and
you
know
every
shock
and
stress
that
we
identify
in
that
preliminary
resilience
assessment
back
in
what
was
it
2014
2015
right
back
at
2015.
D
Excuse
me,
you
know,
has
come
to
fruition
right,
whether
whether
it
is
you
know,
the
issues
around
housing
and
race
or
weather-related
events
or
even
a
global
pandemic
residence
as
part
of
our
community
outreach
activities,
basically
raise
these
as
issues
right.
So
we
look
at
the
preliminary
resilience
assessment.
It's
a
foundational
document
because
it
consists
of
both
kind
of
the
statistical
data
as
well
as
kind
of
human
human
data.
D
So
as
we
think
about
the
pandemic
and
we're
still
in
like
the
fog
of
it
right
like
we're,
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out,
you
know
the
immediate
response,
but
as
we
have
to
transition,
we
now
need
to
start
to
lay
the
foundations
of
what
life
with
the
virus
will
look
like
and
what
life
without
the
virus
will
look
like.
D
D
It
begins
with
a
value
base,
we're
not
starting
from
kind
of
a
you
know
a
zero
set,
but
we
have
some
building
blocks
that
we've
established
in
the
last
couple
years
that
allow
us
to
build.
On
top
of
that.
C
So
I'll
go,
I
think
what
I'm
excited
about
it's
an
odd
thing
to
say
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
but
you
know
if
we're
not
thinking
about
equity,
now
we're
never
going
to
be
right
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
when
vulnerabilities
and
inequities
are
just
even
more
exacerbated
right.
This
is
the
time
to
really
be
planning
for
what
we
need
to
do
next
and
thus
far,
the
work
in
the
vlr
that
kate's
been
doing
right
has
really
been
internally
focused.
What
are
we
doing?
What's
our
baseline
within
the
city?
C
I'm
really
excited
for
us
to
take
this
to
the
community
and
say
like
what
do
you
need
right?
So
we
know
where
we
are.
We
know
what
we're
doing,
but
we
should
base
our
priorities
on
what
people
need
like
what
grant
was
talking
about
the
human
data.
The
anecdotal
experience
is
really
important
and
something
that
we
work
with
the
create
lab
on
is
sort
of
pairing.
What
are
the
stories
that
we're
hearing
over
and
over
and
over
again
with
the
data
so
that
we
can
get
this
full
scope
picture?
C
And
so
the
thing
that
excites
me
about
the
sdgs
and
the
work
here
is
that,
instead
of
just
giving
us
a
report,
you
know
reports
are
great,
but
I
think
we
know
about
the
issues
we
know
what's
going
on.
We
can
continually
learn,
but
we've
got
to
have
some
targets
and
indicators
in
place
so
we'll
know
when
we
get
there
and
then
what
we
need
to
keep
doing
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
critical
communities.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
see
when
we
get
community
feedback
what
shape
this
work
takes.
E
Yeah,
I
would
just
add,
you
know,
to
build
on
what
grant
and
megan
have
said:
we've
done
a
lot
of
pre-work
and
a
lot
of
engagement
to
develop.
You
know
all
the
all
the
goals
that
we've
we've
set
out
and
you
know
the
myriad
of
strategies
that
we
shared
earlier.
I
think
it's
really.
You
know
it's
easy
to
make.
E
It's
not
easy,
but
you
know
it's
easier
to
make
a
report
and
set
a
bunch
of
goals
than
it
is
to
actually
implement
those
goals,
and
I
think
you
know
an
opportunity
arises
during
a
pandemic
when
we've
also
had
a
lot
of
social
unrest,
I
think
there's
a
big
groundswell
of
wanting
to
you
know
not
go
back
to
the
old
normal,
but
to
create
something
new.
E
B
And
then
I'll
kind
of
jump
in
and
talk
about,
you
know
the
protocols
and
procedures.
As
we
look
at
things,
we
look
at
the
social
impacts
of
people
and
how
it's
affected.
B
You
know
whether
it
be
looking
at
gender-based
budgeting,
for
example,
that
the
gender
equity
commission
is
doing
and
then
also
having
the
community
being
part
of
the
research
and
engage
them
in
this
process
and
which
would
lead
to
some
policy
changes
that
we
do
that
they
had
a
part
in
and
then
they
actually
could
live
out
what
they
were
involved
with
and
then
also
benefit
from
it
from
those
those
changes
from
their
lens
because
bottom
line
we're
all
public
servants.
B
And
so,
if
we're
not
serving
the
people,
then
who
are
we
serving
and
and
so
that's
where
it
brings
us
back
to
the
core
of
our
work
and
why
we
choose
this
work
kind
of
moving
forward,
and
then
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
connect
on
a
different
level,
providing
these
recommendations
and
listening
and
changing
things
and
again
we're
addressing
the
inequalities,
we're
creating
that
new,
normal
and
everybody's
involved
with
it.
And
it's
a
shared
process.
A
I
appreciate
that
I'm
wondering
another
question
for
everybody.
You
all
are
so
thoughtful
to
make
clear
that
this
is
first
of
all,
not
new
work,
but
it's
ongoing
work,
but
that
it's
also
something
where
you
know
different
folks
play
their
role
and
that's
what
contributes
to
the
success.
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
were
to
say
what
success
looks
like
from
here,
how
you
would
how
you
would
phrase
that,
because,
quite
frankly
I
hear
you
know
the
names
of
different
cities.
A
I
hear
helsinki,
I
hear
I
hear
new
york
and
I
think
we
have
some
things
going
for
us
here.
You
know
how
can
we
really
be
a
leader
in
this?
You
know
in
this
space
I
believe
we're.
The
second
was
the
100
zillion
cities
as
part
of
the
second
cohort.
So
I
recognize
we've
kind
of
been
to
a
certain
extent
on
the
forefront
of
this
already.
A
D
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
about
this,
and
this
has
been,
I
think,
one
of
the
great
things
about
engaging
with
other
cities
right
and
you
know
the
benefit
of
that
is
as
us
as
kind
of
civil
servants.
We're
learning
from
our
peers
right.
So
we're
able
to
kind
of
take
other
ideas
from
another
city
and
apply
them
here
in
pittsburgh
to
kind
of
our
craft
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
one.
D
One
of
the
things
I
think
is
was
really
two
things
that
are
have
been
really
illustrative,
that
we've
seen
as
part
of
our
sdg
cities,
network
and
rick
could
probably
lead
into.
This
too,
is
one
the
communications
of
the
sdgs
that
it's
not
just
a
city
thing,
but
it
is,
it
is
adopted
and
visible
by
other
sectors,
and
I
I
think
about
this.
D
In
terms
of
you
know,
I
was
on
a
tour
of
a
water
plant,
a
district
heating
plant
in
in
a
community
in
sweden
a
while
back
and
the
executive
director
of
the
plant
was
talking
about
the
sdgs,
you
know,
and
so
it's
that
type
of
executive
integration
that
is,
allows
people
to
see
it
from
the
top,
but
also
it
kind
of
permeates
throughout
the
entire
organization
and
into
the
community.
So
that
visibility
is
one.
D
The
second
thing
and
we've
seen
this
with
a
lot
of
our
other
kind
of
european
partners,
is
aligning
their
procurement
with
the
sdgs
so
really
thinking
about
how
and
what
they
buy
and
who
and
where
they
buy
it
from,
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
you
see
that
that
these
value
sets
get
aligned,
not
just
as
kind
of
a
talking
point
or
within
kind
of
the
policy
and
code,
but
really
in
the
practice.
D
D
They
as
a
company,
have
adopted
the
sdgs
and
report
kind
of
their
performance,
much
like
what
we're
doing
with
kate's
assistants
through
the
vlr
to
other
corporate
platforms,
so
we're
speaking
the
same
language,
not
just
on
energy
but
as
and
as
business
entities
right,
and
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
is
also
scalable,
not
just
from
a
global
corporation
but
down
to
small
and
mid-sized
businesses
as
well.
D
B
Else,
I'll
just
kind
of
add
to
what
grant
was
talking
about
because,
as
we
look
at
the
different
countries
internationally,
they
have
a
social
return
in
regards
to
their
procurement
in
regards
to
their
workforce
and
basically,
the
vendors
that
they
use
have
an
investment
in
all
the
way
to
the
society.
B
So
whole
countries
are
actually
saying
that
we're
involved
with
sdgs
and
when
we
do
our
our
country
procurement.
We
want
the
social
return
of
workforce
on
this
particular
contract.
And
how
much
do
you
contribute
in
and
that's
a
requirement
in
the
procurement?
That's
a
requirement
in
the
procurement
and
then
that's
how
it's
scored,
not
just
the
capabilities
that
they
have
to
do
the
work
in
the
bidding
process
that
we
have
normally
here
we're
they're
asking
for
the
return
of
how
they're
benefiting
the
residents
in
their
country
in
regards
to
this
procurement.
A
Do
you
all
think
that
there's
any
that
the
united
states
at
some
point
might
engage
in
their
own
voluntary
national
review
that
will
join
this
global
conversation
as
a
as
a
nation
as
well,
or
you
really
foresee
the
future
of
this
work
being
done
through
through
cities.
C
Say
I'll
actually
say
that
there's
a
this
butts
up
so
much
against
human
rights
and
for
the
human
rights
city
alliance.
Here
in
pittsburgh,
and
a
lot
of
cities
have
a
human
rights
alliance.
There
is
such
a
thing
as
a
universal
periodic
review,
which
is
much
like
the
the
review
that
kate
is
doing
sort
of.
C
How
are
we
doing
about
human
rights
in
pittsburgh
and
there
is
a
national
review
that
goes
to
the
u.n,
so
I
would
say
that
there
are
already
people
in
this
field
that
are
sort
of
trailblazers
and
doing
that
work.
So
it
is
possible
because
I
know
that
that
is
getting
submitted.
A
It
will
be
terrific
for
the
nation
to
support
them
in
a
formal
sense,
but
it's
tough
to
see
too
far
in
the
future
these
days.
A
couple
last
questions:
one
is
a
practical
one
for
folks
that
might
want
to
get
involved,
or
maybe
they
want
to
learn
how
their
organization
can
get
can
formally
adopt
them,
etc,
etc.
Where
should
we
be
directing
people
to
learn
more
and
and
to
engage,
if
that's
what
they
decide,
they'd
like
to
do
as
an
individual
or
as
an
organization.
D
I
I
would
say
from
the
organizational
level
I
mean
both
both
rick
and
I
are
kind
of
points
in
contact
on
the
the
local
organizing
of
the
sdg
network,
so
they
could
always
reach
out
to
us
and,
like
I
said
early
on,
like
that's,
been
kind
of
a
an
organic
group
from
you
know:
institutions
of
higher
education
to
you
know
social
service
organizations.
D
D
You
know,
or
st
edmonds
academy
in
in
squirrel
hill
has
also
had
kind
of
a
you
know:
curriculum-based
approach
to
the
sdgs,
you
know
so
those
those
are
those
are
kind
of
definitely
ways.
I
think,
for
local
organizations
to
plug
in
community
organizations
and
the
like
that
are
really
good
resources
for
everyone.
A
Thank
you
so
much
megan,
any
any
rebecca
kate
rick
any
other
reach
out
to
each
of
you
individually
check
out
the
websites
kind
of
thing.
Okay,.
E
Yeah
I
mean
the
united
nations.
Has
you
know
all
kinds
of
websites
that
really
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
into
like
what
the
targets
are
you
know
and
what
each
of
the
17
goals
are.
So
you
can
learn
a
lot
more
on
that
website.
Our
voluntary
local
review
will
also
be
public,
so
I
mean
you
know,
stay
tuned
for
for
that
release.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Okay,
one
last
question
just
around
the
table
so
to
speak
around
the
zoom
one
last
time,
just
a
final
encouragement
to
folks.
You
know
you
guys
have
heard
the
conversation
we've
gotten
to
take
a
look
at
how
this
work
looks
in
different
sectors
here
locally
and
in
history.
B
B
And
we
have
the
different
people
in
place
within
our
departments,
within
our
commissions,
within
our
organizations
here
in
pittsburgh,
to
be
a
leader
not
just
talking
to
talk
so
to
speak,
but
actually
walking
the
walk
and
the
city
residents
and
our
region
benefit
from
the
work
that
we've
done
so
far,
as
you
saw
in
the
beginning
slide
that
it
took
us
four
or
five
years
to
get
to
this
point
and
now
now
we're
ready
to
implement
the
work
behind
it.
B
And
so
that's
where
I'm
excited,
because
my
two
little
girls
and
you
know,
and
their
children
will
be
able
to
benefit
from
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now.
A
D
Yeah,
I
would
just
you
know,
go
back
to
kind
of
the
prior
question
too.
Is
you
know
I?
I
would
really
implore
people
to
you
know
one
kind
of
educate
themselves
about
the
sdgs
and
familiarize
themselves
just
with
information
on
it,
but
also
just
within
kind
of
you
know
the
organization
you
work
for
your
employer
kind
of
ask
yourself
how
the
sdgs
can
make
an
impact
in
your
organizat
respective
organization,
and
I
think
what
that
does
going
back
to
kind
of
the
concepts
of
continuous
improvement.
D
You
start
to
think
about
how
the
service
or
the
product
that
you're
working
on
delivering,
how
that
affects
other
people's
lives
and
how
you
can
improve
that
service
or
product
delivery,
and
it
you
know
it's
one
of
those
things
about
how
you
facilitate
partnerships
and
really
improve
kind
of
the
outcomes
that
you're
driving
for.
So
it's
really
something.
I
think
that
everybody
can
take
to
their
lives
and
how
it
can
you
know,
improve
kind
of
their
their
community
or
the
organizations
that
they're
respectively,
working
with.
A
I
appreciate
that
any
final
personal
encouragements
from
from
grant
irvin.
Well,
since
we
have
you
on
the
call
man
check
out
check
out
your
tv
show
something
like
that.
Maybe.
D
I
wasn't
gonna
do
any
kind
of
promotion,
you
know
self-promotion
or
anything,
but
as
we
talked
about
you
know,
we
we
we
have
our
upcoming
guests
that
the
grand
street
experience
is
going
to
be
mr
rick
williams
and
then
josiah
we're
going
to
get
you
on
there
too.
In
order
to
do
that,
continue
the
crossover
episode
so.
E
Yeah,
I
mean
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about.
I
guess
everyone's
been
thinking
a
lot
about
this,
but
you
know
over
the
past
few
months
we've
we've
learned
a
lot
about
what
the
harm
of
prior
policies
and
programs
and
developments
have
really
done
to
communities,
and
I
think
that
a
framework
like
this,
where
you're
measuring
against
you,
know
17
different
values,
and
you
know
making
sure
that
you
know
everyone
that
you
know
there's
a
philosophy
of
inclusivity
here.
E
I
think
that
you
know
the
sdgs
and
and
the
more
that
align
their
work
with
them
and
integrate
the
sdgs
into
you,
know,
city
planning,
and
you
know
any
other
policy
making
really
has
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
repeat
any
of
those
mistakes
in
the
past.
Where
we've
you
know,
left
people
out
or
developed,
you
know
without
thinking
about
the
harm,
the
irreparable
harm
that
would
be
done
to
the
environment
or
to
our
people
etc.
E
So
I
think
you
know
the
sdgs
have
have
a
really
good
opportunity
for
people
to
demand
better
policy
making
and
better
governance,
and
you
know
better,
you
know
corporate
social
responsibility,
so
I
think
you
know
educate
yourselves
on
on
what
this
is
and
just
demand
better
from.
You
know
all
of
our
institutions
from
your
government,
from
your
your
employer,
et
cetera,.
A
Thank
you.
I
resonate
with
that
demand
better,
and
I
think
I
would
say
too
know
that
better
is
here
now,
and
I
think
that
this
call
exemplifies
that
in
a
lot
of
ways.
This
is
not
a
new
topic
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
It's
not
a
new
topic
internationally,
but
there
is.
There
has
been
some
work,
that's
been
going
on
and
a
team
in
place
right
now.
In
a
way,
that's
I
find
very
exciting.
I
hope
that's
encouraging
to
others,
kate.
How
about
you.
F
To
just
continue
what
our
second,
what
rebecca
said,
collaboration
is
really
key.
So
the
fact
that
the
sdgs
give
us
this
common
language
for
us
to
not
only
communicate
with
people
outside
of
the
city,
government
or
outside
of
pittsburgh
or
the
region,
but
communicate
with
ourselves
to
better
work
for
our
residents.
F
We
can
do
better.
We
should
do
better,
and
this
allows
us
to
look
introspectively
and
talk
with
ourselves
and
then
also
go
and
find
the
solutions
that
might
exist
in
other
cities,
so
yeah,
something
I
I
truly
believe
is
that
everything
is
better
when
we
collaborate
and
we
talk
and
we
try
to
work
things
out
together
as
a
team,
and
it
definitely
helps
when
everyone's
speaking
within
the
same
framework,
so
the
sdgs
can
give
us
that
opportunity.
A
C
C
I
think
I
I
agree
with
what
everyone
else
says,
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
know
so.
Many
people
are
hurting
right
now
and
rightfully
so
right,
they're,
just
huge
issues
that
we
as
a
society
and
as
a
city
need
to
grapple
with,
and
I
want
people
to
know
that
we
we
are
here
for
them.
We
are
listening.
Even
if
you
don't
know
anything
about
the
sdgs,
but
you
want
to
tell
us
your
story.
C
I
think
that
is
so
valuable
and
that's
something
that
we
can't
pull
from
any
report
or
any
data
set
so
hearing
more
from
the
people
of
pittsburgh
about
how
systems
and
government
and
the
pandemic
especially,
are
affecting
them
is
going
to
be
so
important
to
our
future
work.
So
whether
it's
attending
a
public
meeting
reaching
out
privately
messaging
us
on
social
media,
we're
always
here-
and
we
want
to
hear
from
you.
A
Well,
thank
you
each
so
much
I've
learned
so
much
in
this
conversation
and
really
enjoyed
it.
I
encourage
those
that
are
watching
whether
it's
live
or
after
the
fact
to
consider
reaching
out
to
these
folks
individually,
learning
more
about
their
work,
engaging
with
them
and
their
teams,
their
respective
teams
and
the
kind
of
ecosystem.
A
So
to
speak
of
folks
that
are,
you
know,
active
in
this
space,
a
lot
to
learn
a
lot
to
get
engaged
with
a
lot
to
be
encouraged
by
and
a
lot
to
to
learn
in
terms
of
things
that
you
know,
gaps,
things
that
aren't
so
good,
but
where
we're
heading
in
a
better
direction-
and
I
think
there's
a
chance
for
for
authenticity
in
the
system
in
a
real
way,
there's
no
need
during
a
global
pandemic
to
run
away
from
reality.
A
It
just
is
what
it
is
and
it's
about
where
we
go
from
here.
So
that's
going
to
wrap
us
up
on
today's
conversation.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
taking
the
time
today
or
wherever
you
may
be,
or
whenever
you
may
be
we're
going
to
continue
this
series
next
week
on
monday,
the
same
time
so
monday
at
noon,
we'll
be
talking
about
the
census,
officials
from
the
city,
officials
from
allegheny
county,
the
u.s
census
bureau
and
the
complete
counts
committee.
So
make
sure
you
take
a
look
at
that
really
really
important
work.
A
That's
happening
here
in
the
region
in
the
state
that
will
have
a
lot
of
practical
benefit
and
impact
for
those
of
us
that
are
living
here
today,
so
anyways
in
the
meantime,
please
take
the
very
best
cares
of
yourself
very,
very
best
care
of
yourself
and
we'll
see
you
next
time
great.
