Geoffrey West: The math of Cities and Companies

Physicist Geoffrey West has found that 'universality' can also be found within urban populations and economic growth. He shows how wealth, crime rate, population, walking speed and many other factors of a city can be calculated through simple universal laws. Furthermore, much of what is discussed is related to the nature of biology and the universal laws that have been discovered in biology.

This is some food for thought.
