Most cities in the Great Lakes Region share a lot of the same problems and opportunities. It follows that we are also all looking for solutions to these problems. While some issues can be addressed regionally throughout the Great Lakes (water issues for example) the cities are competing with each other and the rest of the country and world to solve our problems.

For example, many Great Lakes cities have dwindling populations, high unemployment and a rust belt perception. One of the ways that cities have been able to increase population, job creation and vitality is by attracting immigrants.
