But as a major metropolis, we hunger for the kind of cross-pollinating, momentum-building magic that transpires from a meaningful concentration of brains and businesses in one area and transforms a pocket of activity into a powerful culture that inspires people to come together to build things, solve problems, and test ideas that improve how we move, work, play, care, and learn.
