Brain Gain, now in its second edition, explains how innovative cities create job growth and inclusive prosperity in an age of unprecedented technology change. It is based on 20 years of research by the Intelligent Community Forum into more than 200 cities and counties that have found the keys to long-term economic, social and cultural growth as the global economy changes drastically around them. The second edition adds new content on the Community Accelerator Strategy, the development framework that has powered the success of places from midsize and small cities from Eindhoven, Netherlands and Tallinn, Estonia to Stratford, Ontario and Riverside, California. It addresses crucial issues from turning education into a ladder to local opportunity, immigration to AI, and the immense growth potential of small-to-midsize communities.

Why has the global economy created a projected jobs gap of 75 million persons? Why are jobless recoveries now commonplace and why are middle-skilled jobs being erased? Brain Gain explains how innovation combined with digital connectivity and technology is driving global economic change affecting the place called home for every citizen. More than identify trends, it demonstrates how small, midsize and large cities have turned stagnation and decline into growth that delivers prosperity to the many and strengthens the social and cultural bonds that bind a people together.
