I don't normally post FT content, but, wow, this article is excellent! Surveys a range of actors, initiatives, and critics active in this space. It can feel niche teaching about this so great to see it covered in a single article. #startupcities #blockchain #cryptobros #neoreaction #chartercities
Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities
They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

If anyone is thinking about attending SASE 2026 and looking for a panel on East Asia, democracy, political economy, here's something i'm putting together. Pop me an email if your interests fit and would like to participate. Feels like SASE might be popular this year as many avoid US-based events.
