Nicely succinct way to capture important complexity! We are just at the beginning of realizing the potential of getting some of the "best of both" in combining the perspective of the urbanist and the (traditional) toolkit, and sometimes experimental mentality, of the technologist. To do that justly, equitably, and impactfully of course means to work with or within government.

A question I pose to people: who, in the workings of a city, can actually solve for *global* optima? Only the city and the community itself, or (hopefully!) those working in close collaboration with the civic authorities.
