Panel Discussion: Can a City Work Like a Startup?
Can a city work like a start-up? We gathered experts to discuss what's required to make bold change in urban areas. “We have to change the notion that government is over here and the people they serve are over there," Stephanie Wade, Senior Program Manager and Designer at Bloomberg Philanthropies, suggested, while panelists Phyllis Locket (CEO of LEAP Innovations) and David Zipper (Partner, 1776 Seed Fund) stressed the importance of public-private partnerships in order to make a positive impact that can be scalable to a large urban area. Where did they agree the most? That bold leaders who aren't afraid of making changes and learning from mistakes are essential. Using data to figure out what works is key to understanding where to go next. And most of all, that change IS possible!
