The Making of the Urban Entrepreneur
城市人口增长、新技术普及和协作商业模式给基础设施带来压力，催生了关注城市生活质量的新型创业形式。城市企业家挑战正式市场结构，重新思考地方、个人、机构之间的互动，并发展出独特的公私民伙伴关系和商业策略。
Pressures on infrastructure—due to growing urban populations, the ubiquity of new technologies, and collaborative business models—are fostering a new form of entrepreneurship focused on addressing quality of life in cities. Urban entrepreneurs are challenging the logic of formal market structures, forcing us to re-frame our thinking around the interactions between place, individuals, institutions, and the resulting innovative outcomes. Urban entrepreneurs—operating at the neighborhood, city, and global levels—are developing alternative forms of private-public-people partnerships and unique business strategies.
