Urban management in the 21st century Ten insights from Professor Ed Glaeser. Edward Glaeser, June 2019, Paper, "In August 2018, CDE hosted Professor Ed Glaeser, the world’s leading urban economist and the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. He shared his critical insights based on vast experience during a series of seminars and engagements with leaders, policy makers and officials from the Johannesburg and Cape Town metro governments. To help improve the quality of South Africa’s discussion about cities’ vital role in growth and development, we are publishing here, in collaboration with Professor Glaeser, a summary of the key lessons that we drew from the questions he asked and the talks he gave."
