Geoff West generously spent a couple of hours talking with editors from Nature Ecology & Evolution, Nature Physics and Nature Sustainability about his work on cities, scaling and innovation. He also kindly agreed to be grilled for our latest 60-second 'Ecology or Evolution' interviews. Geoff's book Scale: The Universal Laws of Growth, Innovation, Sustainability and the Pace of Life, in Organisms, Cities, Economies and Companies is out now, and has just been reviewed in Nature by Philip Ball https://www.nature.com/nature/...
