A Must Read for Every Civic Leader
22 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a definite must read for every mayor, town council member, governor, and president of any city, state or country in the world. With all the disasters going on in the world, this book is a true gem in that it focuses on solutions for problems (with real case studies cited) and shows not only good ideas, but real, tangible ideas too. The toolkit for urban innovators is an excellent subtitle for this book. I am only a fraction of the way in, but I can barely put it down!
