Answer:
Major Themes: a majority of cities have reported that their infrastructure budget for 2009 had been impacted due to the global economic crisis. Eco friendly cities is an enormous opportunity.
Major Issues: Not having enough budget for infrastructure, the issue was the economy was bad everywhere.
Major Stakeholders: when we talk about cities first thing that comes to mind is people. The citizens of these cities where the major stakeholders, since they had to deal with the lack of improvement to infrastructure, a lot agreed that improvement to transportation would be priority if they had the budget. We all as citizens pay for this shortage of budget.
Social, Legal and/or ethical issues: the effect of climate change were a huge concern in 2009 they wanted to know how to prepare for these climate changes and wanted to have people educated to help adapt to climate changes. With economic stimulus many cities target transportation as its main priority.
Result: not a lot of information was given as fas as solutions, but Mayors and their cities agreed that federal state practice must be reformed to give their city greater decision making power over infrastructure investment in their cities. they came together to face the infrastructure challenges they had to face in 2009.
Personal Opinion of Additional solution: I believe that their worry were reasonable concerns while the economy is back to normal(sorta) budget shortage is still an issue to many cities sadly as I mention in a previous discussion I feel like finding alternative to save money is key ex. Smart street lights, and finding alternative energy sources can also be a solution to save money, and use that money to increase budget.
