In a reflective discussion, former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, urban economist Ed Glazer, and Downtown Project business lead Maggie Hsu explore the ambitious revitalization of Las Vegas. They delve into innovative urban planning techniques that aim to transform downtown into a vibrant community hub. Hsieh shares insights from his vision, while Hsu recounts grassroots initiatives that foster creativity and local entrepreneurship. The trio discusses the unique challenges of reshaping a city known for its glitz, highlighting the importance of community engagement and thoughtful design.
