About this book
In this publication, Gabe Klein, with David
Vega-Barachowitz, demonstrates how to effect big, directional change in
cities—and how to do it fast. Klein's objective is to inspire what he calls “public
entrepreneurship,” a start-up-pace energy within the public sector, brought
about by leveraging the immense resources at its disposal. Klein offers
guidance for cutting through the morass, and a roadmap for getting real,
meaningful projects done quickly and having fun while doing it.
This book is for anyone who wants to change the
way that we live in cities without waiting for the glacial pace of change in
government.
