19. City Knowledge transforming municipalitiesfrom hunter-gatherersto farmers of urban information

21. Cities = Structures + Activities

22. Reality = Backlog + Future Change

23. Middle-out = Top-down + Bottom-up

24. Space Is the Glue

26. Extract Informational returns everywhere

27. Re-use Information

28. Put onus on “agents of change”
