“…Perhaps the most important aspect of the book is that it shows that innovation and equity need not be in tension. By including workers from across deprived neighbourhoods who come from different backgrounds, efforts to make innovation more inclusive can result in more innovation overall. This book can help make this happen.” — Neil Lee, Professor of Economic Geography Department of Geography and Environment London School of Economics, UK“This book matters because it reminds us that innovation is not an abstract aspiration – it is something that unfolds in real spaces, with real people, and with real and complex power dynamics. For those of us committed to building more just and inclusive systems, it offers both clarity and hope.” — Ana María Ortega, Full Professor and Researcher, Innovation Systems and Community-Based Adaptation (CBA), EAFIT University, Medellín; Policy Advisor, Entrepreneurship and Regional Innovation Systems
