RE: My audacious plan to make Cambodia prosperous (part 1) – An introduction to Startup Cities
It's a great idea but .. ehrm... 'tricking' the established 'authority' into relinquishing its power is not easy.
However, in poor places, with small governments that don't tax high and have big problems with corruption... it's really just a matter of getting enough money and making the connections with the local 'authorities'. These people are probably the most hungry for good publicity, and will cost the least to convince that maybe they might benefit in money by sacrificing their power.
Yes, I am also concerned with convincing authority. We have already contacted some top officials in Cambodia, and are waiting for a meeting in which we can discuss the plan. It may be too large and too audacious, but we can also scale things down. :)
Yes, little things, maybe even just start with a house, or a village... But as small projects pan out, people will be easier to convince.
I toke a cup of thea before i read article. It really good. It is always a good idea when you started build up something in a country which just started to develop and the investing it not much as a rich country in Europ. I do have a lot contact in Cambodia also in Siem reap. If you need help with idea just tell me.
