They\u2019re tapping into what cities have to offer so they can collaborate and innovate in their community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The term seems to share the most similarities with what we refer to as the \u201csocial entrepreneur.\u201d Cohen states: \u201cUrban entrepreneurs come in all shapes and sizes and not all of them fit that mode. Many young entrepreneurs aspire to have an impact on their local communities more than becoming the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues to define the term \u201curbanpreneur,\u201d and states there are \u201cthree distinct types of indie urbanpreneurs: makers, digital indie, and on-demand or gig economy urbanpreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cohen also discusses \u201ccivic entrepreneurship,\u201d which, again, aligns naturally with social entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p>The article is an example of David Pozen\u2019s theory come to life; Cohen\u2019s descriptions of the urbanpreneur (and the three different types) as well as the civil entrepreneur truly show the malleability of the term \u201centrepreneurship.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article:\u00a0http:\/\/www.citylab.com\/work\/2016\/10\/rise-of-the-urbanpreneur\/504434\/ We\u2019ve read David Pozen, and so we\u2019ve seen how the term \u201centrepreneur\u201d has come to encapsulate so much over the past few decades, and how the term is always growing (to include \u201csocial entrepreneurs,\u201d for example).
