Although I have read everything Richard Florida has written, and enjoyed the inspirational nature of his talk today, being an urban studies scholar myself, Mark Leggott blew my mind, and it seems, many others that attended too, from what I heard in the halls of the convention centre. While Richard talked about changing the world we live in to harness our talents, Mark Leggott and his teams are doing it FAST, and NOW. No talking, no consultations, no debates. He has a vision and he is on a journey to get there. He is building the world we have dreamed about or never even thought possible. Speechless. Should keep my noodle figiting for months to come.
