Brain Gain. How innovative cities create job growth in an age of disruption. Robt. Bell, John Jung & Louis Zacharilla
Brain Gain. How innovative cities create job growth in an age of disruption. Robt. Bell, John Jung & Louis Zacharilla. 2014. ISBN 9781499228021. The third (and latest) “theme” book from the Intelligent Community Forum ( www.intelligentcommunity.org). This tackle how cities can support innovation and it is a big topic that is done quite well in a concise readable manner. I am always surprised when three authors can put together a well structured book like this. If you are in a community/city/state/country that understands the challenge of meeting the Broadband economy head on then the ICF books are very valuable to you. I enjoy reading the stories about cities that are figuring this out and how their survival/growth contrasts so sharply with ones that do not. I also appreciate that the authors take the time to fully debunk the various myths that abound in the popular press wrto growth, outsourcing, automation, occupy wall street and many more.
