LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

$200M REAL ESTATE

Productivity and innovation per resident increases by 15%

(But not true for companies)

Accelerate serendipity > Accelerate learning > Accelerate productivity and innovation

WHEN CITIES DOUBLE IN SIZE

1. Residential density of 100 residents/acre

2. Street-level activity for residents to collide

3. Culture of openness, collaboration, creativity, and optimism

3 INGREDIENTS FOR SERENDIPITY

Maximize serendipitous interactions

Density in the office

Density in the city

Collisions vs. convenience
