If I listen to this later he'll definitely put me to sleep. This guy is an imposter.
-
That's why it's called the creative class. It wouldn't be called such for nothing.
-
Hi, just a quick note to all the haters out there. Richard is not perfect, but he really does have a lot to offer.

The heartland of America of won't get anywhere when you all speak that 1940s slang. All I understood was the food you eat is shit.

he's such a hack.

What an arrogant 'social science' sell out. Make a bunch of labels, come up with a 'creative class' which is essentially the elite class by your definition (everyone from engineers to bankers and managers to teachers doctors and lawyers), make palatable for policy makers and you'll make money. Gentrification is all about lattes, cool restos and flipping a house in a couple years to this guy. This guy is a joke.

@ntiego I read his book too, it's well packaged half-truths. Check out Dr. Jamie Peck at UBC et al. First the "creative class" is not as mobile as he claims, they just as mobile as any other group of people. Also economic growth cannot be attributed to the creative class, studies have been done with Floridas own indices and there has been no correlation found.
The main problem I have with Mr. Florida is his marketing of urban policies which do nothing good for the economy.

@akufemilia I did. It's a decent talk on the creativity as a source of economic growth for locations rather than companies, with a focus on historical perspective. Creativity comes from people, make them come to your place, or go there yourself, - that is roughly what he delivers.
