Intellectual Capitals
———————
Cities that you want to grow had better be creative. or so says Carnegie
Mellon economist Richard Florida. In _The Rise of Creative Cities_ (June
2002), he argues that the cities that appeal to the creative vanguard will
prosper in an economy driven by inventiveness. Florida ranked the nations
cities on a "creative index," combining measures of regional workforce
makeup, innovation, the Milken Instistue's Tech-Pole high Tech Location
Quotient, and (as a proxy for tolerance and diversity) gay population
concentrations. - Steve Bodow
