Download Move: Putting America's Infrastructure Back in the Lead AudioBook Free
Americans are trapped. We live with travel delays on congested streets, transport delays on blocked railways, and delays on vehicle repairs, project approvals, and financing credited to gridlocked management. These delays impact people, whether you are an everyday commuter, a frequent flyer, a business owner, a web shopper, employment seeker, or a community head. If people can't move, if goods are postponed, of course, if information systems can't connect, then economic opportunity deteriorates, and sociable inequity grows. We've been stuck for too much time, creates Harvard Business College professor and best-selling creator Rosabeth Moss Kanter. In Move, Kanter sessions cities and expresses across the country to tackle our obstacles - and disclose solutions - on the streets and rails and in our towns, our skies, and the halls of Washington, DC. We meet a visionary engineer and general public servant spearheading an underwater tunnel in Miami to streamline port operations and redirect frequent traffic from the location centre. We see mayors partnering with large firms and nimble enterprisers to unveil parking apps, bike-sharing programs, and smooth Wi-Fi systems in greener, more exciting, more connected towns. And we learn about much-needed attempts - such as vibrant tolls on highways and fees based on vehicle miles journeyed - to reduce our dependence on the outmoded gasoline tax in our new electric car era. It all results in a new eye-sight for American ability to move, where local leaders condition initiatives without waiting for Congress to act, and ambitious companies partner with governments to tackle jobs that serve the general public good, create careers, and improve quality of life while providing healthy resources of investment. With original insight and unrivaled know-how, Kanter provides us a sweeping look across America, uncovering the innovative jobs, vital leaders, and bold solutions that are moving our vehicles infrastructure toward a cleaner, faster, plus more prosperous future.
