I am surprised that cities are not smarter than the countryside. Isn't that the whole reason cities form in the first place? So smart people can get together (economies of agglomeration)? And also how about Bangalore??Lion of Judahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-73482497575994283282015-03-12T16:16:07.445+00:002015-03-12T16:16:07.445+00:00Been very interested in this topic for a long time...Been very interested in this topic for a long time.
