In the latest episode of City Talks, Andrew Carter, Chief Executive of Centre for Cities, interviews Professor Neil Lee from the London School of Economics. Neil is an expert in Economic Geography and has authored several books on the topic including “Innovation for the Masses: How to Share the Benefits of the High-Tech Economy.” Together, they discuss global economic patterns and how policymakers are reevaluating their approach to Silicon Valley.
One of the main themes discussed in this episode is how policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in learning from other innovative economies worldwide. Specifically, they explore how Switzerland has managed to enhance its economic productivity through labor policy and devolution. By studying these practices, Andrew and Neil hope to provide insights into ways that cities can foster innovation and promote economic growth.
