Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known to the world as Bad Bunny, just made historic waves in Puerto Rico and across the global Latin music scene. This past weekend marked the emotional end of his "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" residency with one final, monumental concert in San Juan. According to the Associated Press, Saturday's concert aligned with the eighth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, transforming the event into both a tribute and a rallying cry for Puerto Ricans. Singing from the rooftop of a symbolic Puerto Rican house at the venue, Bad Bunny reminded everyone of the power, resilience, and pride of his island, and he wasn't alone—Marc Anthony made a surprise appearance for the classic “Preciosa,” driving fans into an uproar as the lyrics echoed, "I love you, Puerto Rico."The magnitude of these concerts can't be overstated. Over half a million people attended throughout the residency, generating an estimated $733 million for Puerto Rico, notes a Gaither International study. Most fans came from across Latin America and Europe, with the entire series streamed worldwide on Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch, making it the first time Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico shows were available outside the island.The residency finale was more than a concert; it was a night of solidarity and catharsis, with memories of Hurricane Maria looming for many in attendance. Many fans wore the number of storm victims on shirts and flags, turning the event into both a celebration and a shared moment of remembrance. Fans outside the venue, both those who got tickets and those who tried for hours only to come up short, reflected the emotional intensity Bad Bunny has always evoked among Puerto Ricans.Bad Bunny took time during the residency, and especially in this final show, to highlight struggles still facing his homeland. He addressed ongoing power grid failures and criticized slow recovery efforts. According to recent government reports cited in local press, over 92% of reconstruction projects remain incomplete in Puerto Rico, continuing to frustrate residents year after year.The final show, live-streamed globally for free, was also paired with new efforts offstage. Bad Bunny's partnership with Amazon now extends to educational and agricultural initiatives in Puerto Rico, aiming to boost tech resources for local students, provide educational support, and promote Puerto Rican-owned businesses through a new “comPRa Local” storefront.In a recent i-D magazine interview, Bad Bunny explained why his upcoming global tour will notably skip the continental United States—he cited concerns that Immigration and Customs Enforcement might intimidate or target fans at his U.S. shows. While he reassured stateside fans of his affection for them, he made it clear that the safety of his followers and the unique context of his Puerto Rican residency weighed heavily on the decision. Instead, his world tour kicks off in the Dominican Republic, with stops across Latin America, Europe, and Australia.On the music front, Bad Bunny's latest album "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," released earlier this year, continues to dominate charts and playlists everywhere. Music news site InMusic Blog calls it one of the “most anticipated projects” of 2025, and it shows no signs of slowing down as he preps for a demanding international tour.Bad Bunny's message at the conclusion of his residency was one of unity and hope, urging fans to hold onto love no matter the struggle. As fans embraced, cheered, and sang late into the night, it was clear this was more than just a closing act—it was a defining cultural moment.Thanks for tuning in to this week's update.

In the last week, business employment data has confirmed what Auckland locals have been feeling -- the number of filled jobs dropped in the June quarter by point six per cent, or nearly 5 thousand jobs - the worst result in the country.
The number of forcibly displaced people across the world is on the rise. While aid systems often focus on providing basic necessities like food and shelter, Julienne Oyler and her team at the nonprofit Inkomoko have a more ambitious plan: invest in refugee entrepreneurs in order to help them build their businesses, uplift their communities and gain access to financial services. She describes how displaced people are already driving local economies — and shows what it will take to bring their innovations to scale.

In this episode, Pete Codella, managing director of business services at the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, talks with Ben Hart, executive director of the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA). Hart discusses his career detour from banking to public service, driven by a desire to give back to the community and make a tangible difference. He highlights the rewarding experience of seeing companies his office helped bring to the state employ friends and family, and emphasizes the importance of collaboration between government and the private sector for Utah's continued success. Hart highlights UIPA's mission to expand rail service and boost local economies. Since its creation in 2018, the authority has grown from a single port project to overseeing 14 development areas statewide. He explains the port's role in attracting future-facing industries and high-wage jobs by working with the governor's office to offer a "stackable" corporate recruitment tool. Hart also addresses sustainability efforts, such as directing funds towards conservation and partnering with the Department of Air Quality to secure a $112 million environmental grant. He further emphasizes the shift toward more balanced transportation — reducing reliance on trucks while expanding rail and air cargo use.
Bad Bunny's massive Puerto Rico residency is the week's headline. WPLG Local 10 reports he's midway through his 30-show “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” run at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, drawing 18,000 per night and projected to inject roughly $200 million into the island's economy, from hotels and restaurants to small venues near the arena, according to local entrepreneurs and Puerto Rico's governor Jenniffer González Colón encouraging visitors to “come, enjoy the concert, enjoy the island.” WPLG Local 10 and Local10.com both highlight how the residency is reshaping summer tourism and local business momentum around the Coliseo.There was also tragic news tied to the influx. The Los Angeles Times reports a 25-year-old visitor from New York, in Puerto Rico for the residency, was fatally shot early Sunday in La Perla; police say he was an innocent bystander and two locals were also wounded. KSAT corroborates details from police that the incident occurred after an argument at a La Perla nightspot and that the victim's friends had traveled for one of the 30 shows.On the cultural front around the residency, the Los Angeles Times' De Los coverage shows how the moment is sparking art and community action. Local artists, with advocacy group Mijente and collective AgitArte, launched the “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca” exhibition in Santurce, explicitly in conversation with Bad Bunny's album Debí Tirar Más Fotos and the residency's title, framing it as a statement against displacement and for cultural sovereignty. The piece also notes AgitArte's Papel Machete contributed the giant puppet seen in the “La Mudanza” video, tightening the feedback loop between the music, visuals, and on-the-ground art-making during show weeks.Social media keeps feeding the residency's pop-culture gravity. The Washington Post's Instagram highlighted that Bad Bunny opened the run in July with initial dates reserved for Puerto Rico residents, underscoring the hometown-first approach to access. An Instagram post circulating this weekend shows Bad Bunny spotted in Puerto Rico alongside Austin Butler and director Darren Aronofsky, a reminder that the residency is doubling as a magnet for international creatives visiting the island.For listeners tracking the music arc that's powering this summer, Wikipedia's Debí Tirar Más Fotos entry outlines the January 5 album drop, a string of videos through July, and the May announcement of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour starting in November across Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. Wikipedia's Bad Bunny page further notes a July 14 single, “Alambre Púa,” extending the album's life into the residency window, and places the 30-date San Juan run from early July to mid-September with the first nine dates exclusive to locals. NPR's Tiny Desk performance from April sits upstream of this residency, seeding the live band identity listeners are now seeing scaled up at the Coliseo.A quick pulse check on the business and audience impact: Local 10's reporting emphasizes spillover to neighborhood venues near the arena and portrays San Juan as a summer destination anchored by the shows. The Los Angeles Times' community angles suggest the residency is as much a cultural ground game as it is a concert series, inviting visitors to engage beyond the arena while also surfacing the island's ongoing debates over gentrification and self-determination. The shooting in La Perla underscores the safety context visitors are navigating as crowds swell around nightlife hotspots during show weeks, according to police accounts reported by the Los Angeles Times and KSAT.Thanks for tuning in.

Time and again, we've examined how the challenges we face – poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, and more – are deeply intertwined. Understandably, it can start to feel pretty overwhelming. But here's the encouraging part: the solutions are just as interconnected. In this episode of Biophilic Solutions, we speak with Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder and director of Local Futures, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring ecological and social well-being by revitalizing local communities and economies. Helena envisions a world where food is grown by nearby farmers, money circulates within communities, local businesses thrive, and meaningful work is accessible to all.She argues that many of today's crises stem from an overly globalized economic system and that the path forward lies in a broad shift toward localization. Helena advocates for a more informed and intentional public that values local economies and deeper connections with nature. In our conversation, we explore the power of local food systems, the importance of community and ecological bonds, and the role vulnerability plays in healing. Drawing on lessons from indigenous cultures, Helena makes a compelling case for localization as a path toward greater social cohesion and environmental resilience.Show NotesAbout HelenaPlanet Local Summit | September 3-7 | LadakhLocal FuturesAncient Futures: Learning From Ladakh by Helena Norberg HodgeLocal Is Our Future: Steps to an Economics of Happiness by Helena Norberg HodgeTo Heal the Planet We Must First Heal Ourselves (Urth Magazine)Key Words: local, localism, economy, economics, local economy, community, indigenous community, indigenous wisdom, Local Futures, farmers market, global economy, globalism, capitalism, nature, nature based solutions, biophilia, biophilic design, Helena Norberg-HodgeBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.
