Each spring, RPA's Regional Assembly brings together civic and business leaders to discuss major issues affecting the prosperity and quality of life in the tri-state region. We are pleased to announce Mayor Michael Bloomberg as our morning keynote speaker at this year's Assembly.

Other highlights of this year's conference include:

• An unprecedented gathering of leaders of some of the world's biggest transit systems;
• Discussions on hot topics such as the redevelopment of Manhattan's Far West Side and Cornell's plans to build a science campus on Roosevelt Island;
• Sessions looking at options in urban energy efficiency, innovations in transit funding and the challenges of meeting the nation's fast-evolving housing needs.
