    Summary note
    "Makers are creating positive economic and cultural change at the local level throughout the world. From makerspaces to urban manufacturing, this is the emerging story of the Maker City. This is a connected city where the everyday institutions we take for granted--schools, libraries, museums, community centers, and manufacturers--are changing to become more collaborative and innovative. The book is a practical citizen's guide for reinventing your city's economy and culture at time of great technological change. You'll learn from examples drawn from over 100 U.S. cities. Based on interviews with thought leaders, business leaders and makers, this guide explores changes in industry, education, workforce development, real estate, and civic engagement. This book is about shaping a future for cities that is more people-centered, locally productive, and broadly participatory."--Provided by publsiher.
