What you will learn
Learn how 40 years of digital transformation have created today's economy, disrupting jobs, driving economic reward to those with skills and knowledge, and concentrating economic power in major cities.
Understand the sharp economic inequality and social divides created by these dramatic changes, and how they shape the present and future of your community.
Discover how digital transformation has also, almost unnoticed, created an "Everywhere Economy" that opens opportunities to energize economic development in every community.
Analyze the success of cities in turning the Everywhere Economy to their advantage and evaluate how their examples could apply to your community.
