Innovative Cities - Part 3
summary
Amsterdam reports 900,000 bikes and 12 million visitors and struggles with overtourism as a real planning problem, not an abstract trend. Short-term rentals number 6,000 Airbnb spaces and fuel hotel backlash. A free “like a local” ambassador program of ~30 students connects visitors with residents and shows measurable uptake. Cities experiment with microcurrencies to stop economic leakage, Warsaw emerges as a cheap coding talent hub, and local–global linking becomes the practical tool for keeping value inside the city.
