Check out this video about the next president of the USA speaking on the future of cities in the midwest and the reasons why American cities in general are having trouble moving forward. (as a side note, I love Obamas speeches and was lucky enough to be part of the 200,000 people crowd when he spoke in in Berlin) Although the clip is very brief, I was happy to see Obama mentioning Jacobs before anyone else. Shows how cultured this man is.
My favorite part of the clip? The concluding sentence : “That will be part of the masterplan to rebuild the American economy”
