Start-Up City: Inspiring Private and Public Entrepreneurship, Getting Projects Done, and Having Fun

Gabe Klein is an entrepreneur who gave his unique talents to Washington and Chicago by starting bike sharing and Zipcar.

Gabe's perspective on radically changing the bureaucracy and stagnant culture that can plague governments is spot on. Not only does Gabe describe what has helped him achieve success, but those actions are already being replicated in cities across the US to positive effect. "Start-Up City" is a quick read and provides encouragement and inspiration for those working in cities that are trying to catch their second wind.

I've read this book a few times now and found Klein's writing to be engaging and inspirational. A recommended read for anyone working in the transportation or urban planning fields.

Good book towards the end.. I guess I would have liked to have seen more of his transportation vision for the future modeled around DC and Chicago but overall good read.

A+

Roadmap for those tired of talking who want to start doing

Refreshing book.

Got this for my dad who's an urban planner and he really enjoyed it.

Bien, el libro funciona desde una perspectiva de comunicación y de experiencias desde una visión de alguien que ama el trabajo público. Si bien presenta retos y oportunidades, lo hace desde una visión muy local y poco práctica para ciudades con dificultades como corrupción, impunidad o problemas sociales. Bueno, pero no más.
