TED Global Presents Geoffrey West: The Surprising Math of Cities And Corporations

Thanks to Ron R. for the thought provoking TED presentation.
"Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities -- that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations."
