The Street & the Academy
Cities, by their very nature, point us to the contradictions and paradoxes that are an inseparable aspect of our world. To love cities – as the Leadership Foundations global network seeks to embody – is to embrace these contradictions.
Join us in this episode where we explore the contradiction and tension between two sources of authority – the Street and the Academy – and how both have something to teach us about our urban world.
