Transition from a manufacturing economy to a knowledge economy
After listening to Glen Murray speak to the public at an LRT meeting in KW, I began wondering of the plans in Hamilton to make the inevitable transition from a manufacturing economy to a knowledge economy in the future.
A good comparison would be Pittsburgh, and the steps they've taken to become a knowledge based (university, med. tech, arts, etc.) city as the steel industry left town. Globalization has changed the western hemisphere and our economies, and cities either make the transition, or die.
That being said, does Hamilton have a plan of attack?
