What I discovered in Temsa was that it includes the land of the middle of the country – not only geographically but also in social, cultural and even spiritual cases. For me, Heartland represents middle cities such as Talosa, middle -class citizens and those trying to reach the middle class. “What a mythical land should be celebrated or raped,” writes Christian El Hoganon. It creates the impression that there is between the center and the edges between the heart and the national body. “It doesn’t matter or its definition or boundaries, this is a real understanding: the heart actually reflects the gap. We typically think of people who lack the opportunity as a marginal and operate on the edges of society. But the heart of the heart properly shows us that the metaphor is reversed – it is in the midst of economic opportunities.
Every city wants to become a technical center, but only a few is on the coast of the American innovation system – and this is a problem. The Brookings Institute found that between 2005 and 2017, 90 % of the growth of the country’s innovation sector only came from five coastal metro. And from July 2022 to July 2023, six coastal cities accounted for about 50 % of all US job posts in manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI), which is the margins of today’s technology industry. Through the clustering of talent, industry and capital and the economy of the mansion, which, as a result, large coastal cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston and Washington DC have monopoly innovation and its countless benefits. This narrow geographical distribution of the innovation economy exits the hearts of the heart and restricts opportunities for most population.
As a result, the American dream – the notion that through hard work, everyone has the same opportunity to get a good and good life to improve successive generations – moving more access to more people. In 2023, citing an increase in income inequality, Harvard economist Raj Chati said: “If we look at what has fallen over time, we see that the dramatic disappearance of the American dream is such that for children who were born in the mid-1980s, and the 1990s that are now in the market, you are now a 50-50. It is unacceptable that weakens faith in US democracy and capitalism, and they only get worse unless the heart cities act urgently to reset their economy.
Heartland cities like Tulsa can and must play in the innovation economy, which, despite its unequal access, is the best opportunity for long -term jobs and wealth. But they do not need to compete with large coastal centers. Middle weights are in their class and should strive to become the best version of themselves.
Moderate cities such as the Talisa, with the statistical population of the metropolis between 1 and 3 million, now have the basis for supporting a technical ecosystem: population density, cultural facilities, as well as a relatively low cost of living that can be endangered entrepreneurship. The pandemic labor process has highlighted these benefits, as members of the creative class can now search for better quality of life and move away from coastal cities, where growth and justice often work in opposition. The technical centers are even eliminating the compensation, and this group of mobile talents in unique places such as Tirma. This influx provides an opportunity for any city that can attract and maintain them.
Despite having many of the key elements for a technical echo system, too many hearts of the heart have also taken out of the innovation economy by clinging to obsolete economic development concepts, investing in their societies, or keeping a nostalgic sense of culture – or happiness from transformation that has led to any transformation and transformation. Take. While most changes take place over time, with increasing internal inequality and the expansion of geographical inequality in technology, it has made us a country into an inflation point. Heartland cities should be axial with intentions and rushing or danger.
