Trends and thoughts on the world of new urbanism from Greater Boston and the across the World.
Massachusetts is not new to the idea of startups. Innovation hubs first developed in Kendall Square in Cambridge and The Seaport, in Boston and have quickly made their way to cities such as New Bedford, Quincy, Holyoke, Gloucester, and beyond. While startups in Massachusetts are flourishing under the supportive umbrella of organizations like Mass Challenge, the access of Massachusetts' cities and towns to these companies is cumbersome and expensive for both groups. Enter the Innovative Communities Bill, proposed by State Senator Spilka and Representative Ferente after a competition held at the PayPal Start Tank in late 2014 where the winning proposal, the Innovative Communities Bill, was presented by Cole Boskey. Innovative Communities will promote and support the Massachusetts startup economy while providing technology solutions that allow municipalities to better serve their residents. The Innovative Communities program will serve as a common place of access, education, and a central point of connection and facilitation for startups and municipalities seeking innovative technology solutions. The focus is on early stage technology companies seeking to pilot their products and services with participating Massachusetts municipalities.

Find a remote place, such as a bathroom, and try to loosen the mucus from your throat by coughing or hacking. Make sure not to cough too hard or too much, as it can do some damage.
