A series of articles on business, leadership, organizational development, and (sometimes) urbanization. Usually funny, often smart, occasionally insightful, always short; connecting the dots in unconventional ways.
A Simple Story About Planning Complex Things Better
The boom/bust business environment of the Gulf oil nations provides the backdrop for a professionally focused discussion of the hyper-ambitious city-sized building programs you hear about on the news and see on the Discovery channel.
A practitioner's guide to how these building programs come together as a single "master plan" and then move into construction. These huge infrastructure and social engineering projects are a crucible where you see the best and rest of professional practice and business strategy.
A Trail of New Cities provides applicable lessons for anyone interested in the organizational dynamics of complex multi-stakeholder, multi-cultural, engineering and human development projects. Enjoy.
