City Knowledge
transforming municipalities
from hunter-gatherers
to farmers of urban information
Premises of CK Municipalities are the locus of change Cities = Structures + Activities Reality = Backlog + Future Change Middle-out = Top-down + Bottom-up Space Is the Glue Government only has 6 tools for
implementation and data collection
Principles of CK Use all 6 tools when making policies Extract Informational returns everywhere Re-use Information Put onus on “agents of change” Leverage self-interest
