“The best mayor in Texas for business” Kirk Watson visited Novosibirsk as a part of his big Russia tour. Here he shared his views on what should an ideal modern city look like and how its mayor should manage it.
The main resource now is not land or machines, rather creative people, said Mr. Watson. To be economically successful, a city should have a creative class. Two main factors of success are new technologies and tolerance. These two things allow a creative person live in peace.
The ex-mayor was asked, if Novosibirsk has a chance to become a creative city like Austin. Kirk said: “Undoubtedly because you have Akademgorodok!”
Kirk even has a blog about his Russia journey.
