Someone should build a cutting edge medical tourism zone in the Caribbean. Import best practices from China, create additional innovation
On biotech and US-China competition, there will be a humbling moment in the US when the wealthiest people quietly start going to China for cutting-edge treatments. When the Saudi Floor at MGH moves to Shanghai. "They can cure this disease and we can't" impresses people in a way that GDP stats don't. Maybe then there will finally be some introspection here about exactly what we're getting wrong at the regulatory level.

Check out my latest piece on building a successful new city:
New Substack from @magattew on what it takes to build a successful new city. Her closing point: it takes a village.
Where could you find that village this December? Waterfall City for the New Cities Summit on Dec 7-8. 👇

We sat down with Jeremy Gorelick, who leads the Cities Investment Forum, to talk about getting city projects funded. Jeremy has spent 15 years on infrastructure deals across Africa and has helped mobilize $10.4B.
“This is in fact a perfect matchmaking tool between seekers of capital and providers of capital in a way that both of them can talk meaningfully and already be self-selecting to be at an event like CIF.”
Good article on African urbanization. It captures two important elements. 1) the pace of urbanization and 2) the lack of accompanying industrialization or productivity gains

David's article is an important step in the recognition of the challenge and opportunity of African urbanization. The next step is thinking deeply about mechanisms to ensure African urbanization is an opportunity. Charter cities can play an important role
Also, @davidpilling is speaking at our New Cities Summit. You should come
