O'Malley appearance at International Conference of Mayors, October 2005:

[Raine1967]

From October 9-11, 2005, The Glocal Forum hosted its 4th annual Glocalization Conference. During the second day of events, a panel discussion titled “Unveiling the Soul of the City Part 1: Introduction and Discussion” was held. Participants discussed the aesthetics and openness of their cities. These two dimensions were found by the Gallup Organization to have the most influence on soul. Following the panel, the participants responded to questions and comments from members of the audience.

Soul of the City is an innovate study of measuring and tracking the performance and well-being of the world’s cities conducted by the Gallup Organization. The program allows cities to measure and track the political, economic, and social health of a city based on residents' views as to its performance in providing a positive living-working environment. Mayors from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States were in attendance. close

O'Malley statements begin at about 23:50… He talks about what he was doing as a city mayor to change the general feeling of the residents of Baltimore and when he as Mayor tried to do to create a better standard of living in the city.
