Collisions YYC

In this episode, you’ll learn about the work that goes into making a city globally competitive without forgetting about the communities that make it great. Ron Jaicarran, founder of Imagine Cities, will tell us how they see economic opportunity and livability coming together to support small changes within different communities. This can lead to big improvements in life and economic outcomes for everyone involved.

Show Notes

Incremental changes have always been the key to success. Just ask Ron, who has some fascinating stories to tell about how even the smallest change can make a big difference. From British Cycling to Marda Loop’s goals, and from Shenzhen’s transformation from a tiny fishing village into one of the world’s top economic centres, there are plenty of examples that show us just what can be achieved when we’re prepared to take things slowly and make steady progress. These global lessons can be very useful as we move into the fourth industrial revolution, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need and that different communities with different goals can work together harmoniously.
