Cities, states and regions must ultimately map own routes to success
November 5, 2013/
Cities need to build their identities and economies based on indigenous strengths and needs versus what they envy about others.
It’s rarely a bad idea to compare-and-contrast when it comes to business development, whether it’s city to city, state to state or region to region.
