  Urban development has long been a critical component of economic and social growth worldwide. As populations continue to increase and cities expand, the planning, management, and policies surrounding urban spaces become ever more complex. Urban development encompasses the physical, economic, and social transformation of cities, focusing on housing, infrastructure, transportation, and public spaces, while also addressing broader issues such as economic disparity, environmental sustainability, and social justice. 
  Historically, urbanization has been driven by industrialization, technological advancements, and shifts in global economic patterns. The migration of people from rural to urban areas in search of better job opportunities and living conditions has accelerated this process. As a result, cities have grown in both size and importance, becoming hubs for innovation, culture, and commerce. However, this growth has not come without challenges. Rapid urbanization often leads to overcrowded living conditions, increased pollution, traffic congestion, and the strain of public services. 
  At the heart of urban development is the relationship between power, policy, and planning. Political decisions and governmental priorities often shape the trajectory of cities, influencing everything from zoning laws and land use to infrastructure development and housing affordability. In this context, urban planning becomes not just a technical exercise, but a deeply political one, with differing interests—ranging from developers and business leaders to community groups and activists—competing for influence. The way these decisions are made can either foster inclusivity and equity or exacerbate social inequalities.

  In recent years, dreams about our technological future have soured as digital platforms have undermined privacy, eroded labor rights, and weakened democratic discourse. In light of the negative consequences of innovation, some blame harmful algorithms or greedy CEOs. Behind the Startup focuses instead on the role of capital and the influence of financiers. Drawing on nineteen months of participant-observation research inside a successful Silicon Valley startup, this book examines how the company was organized to meet the needs of the venture capital investors who funded it. 
   
   
    
  Investors push startups to scale as quickly as possible to inflate the value of their asset. Benjamin Shestakofsky shows how these demands create organizational problems that managers solve by combining high-tech systems with low-wage human labor. With its focus on the financialization of innovation, Behind the Startup explains how the gains generated by these companies are funneled into the pockets of a small cadre of elite investors and entrepreneurs. To promote innovation that benefits the many rather than the few, Shestakofsky compellingly argues that we must focus less on fixing the technology and more on changing the financial infrastructure that supports it.
