Phil Angelides advances smart, equitable investment in urban infrastructure in his first year as California's State Treasurer.
In his first year as State Treasurer, Phil Angelides inspired many by turning the annual Debt Affordability Report into a resounding call and practical toolkit for using State infrastructure investment to incentivize sustainable and equitable development. This Smart Growth initiative was followed by The Double Bottom Line, which cogently argued the profitability of State and private investments in inner city markets. And last month, Angelides addressed the State's civic leaders at the Civic Entrepreneur Summit. The Planning Report excerpts Angelides's Q&A from the Summit, which offers an update on the impressive array of new projects emerging from the Treasurer's Office.
