One hears alot these days about "innovation and entrepreneurship" and about how "good
jobs" in tech will save our cities. Yet these common tropes hide a stunning reality:
local lives and fortunes are tied to global capital. You see this clearly in metropolises
such as San Francisco and New York that have emerged as "superstar cities." In these
cities, startups bloom, jobs of the future multiply, and a meritocracy trained in
digital technology, backed by investors who control deep pools of capital, forms a
new class: the tech-financial elite. In The Innovation Complex, the urbanist Sharon
Zukin shows the way these forces shape the new urban economy through a rich and illuminating
account of the rise of the tech sector in New York City. Drawing from original interviews
with venture capitalists, tech evangelists, and economic development officials, she
shows how the ecosystem forms and reshapes the city from the ground up. Zukin explores
the people and plans that have literally rooted digital technology in the city. That
in turn has shaped a workforce, molded a mindset, and generated an archipelago of
tech spaces, which in combination have produced a now-hegemonic "innovation" culture
and geography. She begins with the subculture of hackathons and meetups, introduces
startup founders and venture capitalists, and explores the transformation of the Brooklyn
waterfront from industrial wasteland to "innovation coastline." She shows how, far
beyond Silicon Valley, cities like New York are shaped by an influential "triple helix"
of business, government, and university leaders--an alliance that joins C. Wright
Mills's "power elite," real estate developers, and ambitious avatars of "academic
capitalism." As a result, cities around the world are caught between the demands of
the tech economy and communities' desires for growth--a massive and often--insurmountable
challenge for those who hope to reap the rewards of innovation's success
