Cities - Cracking the Innovation Code pt.1
summary
Cities face concrete fights: regulators block services (a court bars Uber in Germany; Airbnb violates rules in New York, Amsterdam, Paris, San Francisco), ad hoc apps for selling street parking get banned, and yet data tools can produce dramatic results — CompStat policing cuts New York murders from ~2,000 to under 300. Success needs infrastructure: booking platforms scale hotels, Nazareth builds incubators for an 80,000 population, Barcelona draws 20,000 at Smart City Expo, and advocacy campaigns (about 5,000 contacts reversed ban) actually change policy.
