Episode 14: 14. Jeffrey Mason & Carl Peterson | What are Charter Cities and why they are important

Jeffrey Mason and Carl Peterson discuss their extensive experience in development economics, law, international relations, and business. Before joining the Charter Cities Institute as a researcher, Jeffrey worked as an MA Fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Carl is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer who has also worked in pre-seed and post-Series A startups.

In this round-the-world interview, Jeffrey and Carl will provide insight into the history of some of the world's most successful and struggling regions, including South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the West. They will also discuss their research and experience in finding solutions to developing cities, and why the Charter City model - a model that seeks to create cities with their own governance systems and economies - may be a potential solution. Tune in to learn more about the fascinating world of development economics and international relations, and the potential of the Charter City model.

  • What a Charter City is
  • How a Charter City is set up
  • The biggest challenges when setting up a Charter City
  • Africa’s NXT50 Cities Coalition
  • The benefits of a Charter City and how it compares to some of the more conventional models
