Tech Cluster Plan for Atlanta Sample Clauses

Tech Cluster Plan for Atlanta. The success of the San Francisco and Austin tech clusters has been compelling; most politicians would be thrilled to see headlines featuring billion-dollar success stories in their city. Yet, the success of these tech clusters has been tainted by rapid increases in the cost of living, homelessness, and out-of-control gentrification. When reviewing externalities in San Francisco and Austin, there is one underlying theme, each city is losing its character: the people, small community businesses, and the classic architecture of older buildings — the soul of the city. This scrutiny is not about denouncing economic progress, but rather proposing that success resulting from a tech cluster should be measured by the breadth of economic growth and its social cost. Atlanta, like many cities, is focused on developing strategies to continually support economic growth. Since the year 2000, Atlanta’s political leadership have been attempting to tap into technology trends to transition to a knowledge-based economy. In efforts to replicate Silicon Valley economic success, however, cities like Atlanta are sadly beginning to replicate Silicon Valley economic externalities. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/01/apple-launches-major-new-racial-equity-and-justice-initiative-projects-to- challenge-systemic-racism-advance-racial-equity-nationwide/. The externalities now arising in Atlanta are disturbing, but not unexpected, given that Atlanta does not have a formal tech cluster plan (TCP), but rather a poorly coordinated batch of economic development programs. Pursuing economic growth is an important goal, but given Atlanta’s notorious history of economic inequality, achieving economic growth without inclusive prosperity should be unthinkable. Should a city uproot its indigenous population and succumb to a new wave of economic “winners” to achieve economic growth? The strategy for economic growth should include all the residents of the city, particularly the disadvantaged. Atlanta can do better, but a formal tech cluster plan is required.
