Innovations for Transformation
This book chronicles how four resort cities (Asheville, Aspen, Key West and Laguna Beach) addressed failing economic situations to reinvent themselves and prosper. The author explores bottom-up reinventions of local community value propositions, often driven by economic forces that require reinvention due to declining or disappearing traditional economic opportunities. The author foregoes broad national policies and focuses on a wide range of citizen groups, local institutions and businesses that coalesce to understand what is happening or has happened to their community. These cities then formulate future aspirations with new value propositions and experiment to determine what works. The investment becomes focused on emergent successes. The book addresses four community ecosystems and a spectrum of contexts--For example, mountains vs. oceans and venues for entertainment vs. thought leadership. These four ecosystems were reinvented creatively to enable great economic and societal successes. In particular, the energy provided by bottom-up innovation was crucial. The information presented in this book is drawn from two sources--First, historical accounts of such initiatives are leveraged. Second, and more substantial are findings synthesized from extensive interviews in Asheville, NC.

Rural Demand Responsive Transport
This book analyzes the transport situation in so-called low-demand areas, i.e., rural areas where traditional public transport is often poor and inefficient. Though rural transport has largely been neglected in the literature in favor of more urbanized contexts, it is often the only mobility option for the many citizens who still live in these areas. This book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing further insights into rural transport research, in particular by presenting a valid solution: Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). This widespread technology allows public transport authorities to make their journeys more efficient by maximizing the load factor of vehicles, while helping citizens meet their mobility needs. The book addresses key research questions concerning the strengths and weaknesses of deploying Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) in rural areas; mayors' perceptions regarding the transport characteristics of their regions; and the evaluation of a DRT pilot project. These aspects are explored through a case study of DRT implementation in two rural areas near the Ligurian cities of Chiavari and Genoa.
