“IT’S NOT JUST
STREETLIGHTS.
IT’S ABOUT A SENSE
OF COMMUNITY”
.
ODIS JONES
CEO, PUBLIC LIGHTING AUTHORITY OF DETROIT
At one point, 40 percent of streetlights in Detroit didn’t work.
This made life even more difficult for a city that was already struggling.
The Public Lighting Authority of Detroit devised a plan to reilluminate
the city. But finding a bank to finance the project during Detroit’s bankruptcy
was challenging. Citi stepped up and committed its own capital, which
encouraged other investors. So far, thousands of new LED lights have been
installed, lighting the way as a model for similar projects around the world.
For over 200 years, Citi’s job has been to believe in people and help
make their ideas a reality.

On the cover
More and more money is being
spent on higher education.
Nobody knows if it is worth
it: leader, page 13. The
American model of higher
education is spreading. It is
good at producing excellence,
but needs to get better at
providing access to decent
education at a reasonable
cost, says our special report,
