While you may already be confused with the growing list of names under the startup city banner, here is another to add to the list: “LEAP zone” (legal, economic, administrative, political).

In particular, Klugmann recommends use of “LEAP zone,” since he does not know whether these zones will become cities. “The market will decide . . .”

You need to have a judicial system that is credible . . . and you need to have a system of governance that is more than a sand castle, where it’s not going to be washed away through demagoguery.
