Flat vs. Spiky vs. What Really Matters
Readers of TechFutures know that I have high admiration for Jim Russell at Burgh Diasporah. The “Cleveburgh” connection can and should be one of the first to break down the completely man-made and artificial borders that have become barriers to our region’s revitalization.
Readers will know doubt also recall my extreme admiration for Harvard’s Ed Glaeser and the simply brilliant work he has done on the economics of geography.
Since his talk at the Federal Reserve Bank here in Cleveland, Ed has been traveling about the region given more talks. Jim picked up on my original post and responded at his site on April 16, but if you click here and scroll down (then read up from the 16th until the 23d) you’ll be doing yourself and the region a big favor–now, this is the kind of conversation we need to have taking place here in the Great Lakes region!
