Abstract
Good urbanists may be civic leaders, place-healers, creative entrepreneurs (who contribute unique local businesses), or entrepreneurial creatives (artists). Good urbanists can also be connectors, mavens (researchers), and salespersons (advocates), the three capacities required for real transformation, according to Malcolm Gladwell in The Tipping Point (2000).
