We'd all like to think our city is heading in the right direction, pushing hard to make itself better. On the board, we often compare cities, but we don't always have a good tool to compare how they are changing, growing. In essence, how each is pushing the accelerator.
So let's give ourselves the opportunity to do that right now.
It's really very simple. We track a city's speed of development, acquisition of future oriented economy, quality of life issues, and exciting urbanization using the following accelerator model (which maxes out at 100):
0 (at a standstill)_______50 (average growth)_______100 (Look out:full speed ahead!!)
positive growth should be measured by city's size and importance, comparing where it was, with where it is, and most importantly where it is going. In essence, the city's acelerator number is generated by looking at the city and seeing what is happening there. the comparison comes with other cities afterwords. Thus smaller Atlanta could get a higher rate than larger New York if you preceive Atlanta is moving forward based on its current size and status faster than New York is.
Using the above:
1. take any city (cities) you choose
2. give them an accelerator number
3. explain why you think it deserves that number for its rate of positive growth/change
So you decide the number: 58, 36, 74, 91, 8, 17, 44....whatever!> |
