One of my favorite X follows on economics matters is NYU Stern professor Arpit Gupta. Those of you in finance will appreciate his, X handle, @arpitrage. Gupta is one of the people who came up with the idea that Covid would cause an “urban doom loop” for cities.
I was delighted to get him on the podcast this week to talk about the future of cities in the world of AI. Is there still an urban doom loop? Why can office buildings be selling for pennies when housing prices are through the roof? Can cities replace commerce with tourism and fun? Will AI bail our cities? For those of you interested in the future of cities, this one is a must listen.
