“…[P]roposing some new rules [in a charter city] and then asking who would like to opt in—who would like to live under these new rules—could give us a mechanism to reform the rules under which we live, to change them, to improve them much more rapidly.” —Paul Romer (on BBCCaribbean.com)

AboutAs a research non-profit, Charter Cities focuses on rules. Rules matter for quality of life and growth. Growth reduces poverty. This blog covers development challenges in general, but takes a special interest in the dynamics of rules and the practical issues that arise when newly chartered cities are used as a way to give people access to better rules. We use the same comments policy as the Economix blog.
