Innovation In Real Places with Naheed Nenshi and author Dan Breznitz

On November 27, we hosted an enlightening edition of our book club series, Global Reads with Naheed Nenshi, former mayor of Calgary, as our lead discussant, alongside the distinguished author of Innovation In Real Places – Strategies for Prosperity in an Unforgiving World, Dan Breznitz.

In this session, we delved into the pivotal themes of innovation, regional development, and fostering real change in communities. Breznitz's book offers a compelling blueprint for harnessing innovation on a local level, making it exceptionally relevant in today's world.

Global Reads examines a literary work focused on international affairs, policy, or practice, and engages in meaningful dialogue on the themes presented within the book.
