As other cities try to solve the riddle of creating vibrant economies, many have looked to Seattle as a model for tech-driven urban renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, that success comes with skyrocketing housing costs, increasing homelessness, public safety concerns, persistent racial inequality, and a widening gap between the haves and have-nots. Against that backdrop, big tech has become a popular target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTom Alberg, a venture capitalist who was one of the first investors in Amazon, draws on his experience in Seattle's tech boom to offer a vision for how cities and businesses can build a brighter future together. He explores ways that cities can soar to prosperity by creating the conditions that encourage innovation. Like flywheels, livable cities generate momentum by drawing creative citizens who launch businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuccess attracts more talent, energising local economies and accelerating further innovation. Alberg emphasises the importance of city governments and tech companies partnering to address civic challenges. He reflects on why the benefits of the tech boom have not been distributed equally and what business and government leaders must do differently to ensure inclusive growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also examines success stories from smaller cities and their lessons for other up-and-coming tech hubs. Demonstrating the need for innovative thinking that encourages livability alongside economic growth, \u003cem\u003eFlywheels\u003c\/em\u003e is timely reading for everyone from mayors to business leaders to engaged citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868587610348,"sku":"9780231199544","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8052143482270.jpg?v=1759760491"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/tom-alberg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
