What do elephants, electricity grids, and economic growth have in common? 🐘⚡
They’re all governed by scaling laws — and today, we’re diving into the groundbreaking work of Professor Geoffrey West to show you how biology, cities, and even companies follow predictable mathematical patterns as they grow.

📈 The 15% rule: why incomes, innovation, and land values rise faster in big cities
📈 The critical difference between growth driven by hype… and growth backed by science
📈 How to identify “superorganism” cities where value compounds over time
