Only 7 more months til our story ends. The transformation of work and society from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age will be complete by 2020.
The NineShift “Grand Finale” will be held Thursday, Nov 21, in San Diego at the big LERN annual conference.
Here’s the top 3 stories of the month.
#3 Light Rail is the People’s Choice.
New light rail is popping up all over. People want it. In the last month Kitchener and Waterloo in Canada got light rail, Phoenix added two stations, Seattle keeps building new light rail, Minneapolis started construction on another line, and more.
Why business likes light rail.
"Light rail for Mesa is becoming an economic development tool," says Jodi Sorrell, transit director for Mesa County (Phoenix). Business likes stability, and while bus lines change, light rail is permanent. Light rail also attracts investment around the stations because that’s where people want to live. So offices and stores follow the new apartment construction. (Photo: May flowers in our backyard this year)
