Cities - Cracking the Innovation Code pt.2
summary
Cities get judged by concrete services: subway clocks versus location apps, passport control wait times, online permits, and whether municipal IT projects run late and over budget (New York plans 200 stations by 2017 at several hundred million). Talent drains to startups and big tech, so cities form public‑private spinouts or clusters. Barcelona focuses on changing culture; Nazareth proposes one startup umbrella, smart infrastructure and positive immigration to attract talent. Emphasis is on user-centered innovation and that failure culture is accepted as part of experimentation.
