The Genius of Place. How the Alliance of Power, Business, and Community Transforms Cities

This book is for those who believe that real change begins with the unification of efforts. If you are a public servant looking to go beyond bureaucracy and manage creatively, if you are an entrepreneur ready to invest not only... in profit but also in the development of territories, if you are a community leader dreaming of turning your initiative into real change, this book will be your go-to guide. You will study the mechanisms through which the synergy of power, business, and society ensures the development of cities. You will learn how a leader transitions from personal ambitions to implementing socially beneficial initiatives. You will see inspiring examples: from the transformation of New Holland in St. Petersburg to large-scale projects by Sber across Russia. But most importantly, you will gain concrete tools: algorithms for managing territories, branding strategies, and effective communication models. Because this book is not just about theories - it is about actions. Each of us, regardless of status and abilities, can become a "genius of place." Start by working on yourself, and your ideas will change the city, region, country.
