Synopsis:
In gist: For capitalism's entrepreneurship and judiciously applicable to civil society & social entrepreneurship, "we need a new paradigm that can channel entrepreneurial energy to address these issues. Entrepreneurial Urbanism will consist of a range of different components, including population flux, networks, and magnet institutions. Population naturally flow in and out of cities, and this phenomenon will only strengthen as our economy globalizes. We must stop attempting talent retention as it restricts human potential and represses creativity. As we work to organize networks for entrepreneurs, a focus on the epidemiological spread of ideas as well as entrepreneurial density will help to derive non-formalized networks and even a sort of invisible college atmosphere. Magnet institutions-both formal and informal-are key to entrepreneurial urbanism, but these types of institutions differ greatly from what are conventionally thought to be development magnets such as new physical projects."
