Purchase Richard Florida's related book As I walked across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University one delightful spring day, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the spectacular weather. Several had identical blue T-shirts with "Trilogy@CMU" written across them---Trilogy being an Austin, Texas-based software company with a reputation for recruiting our top students. I walked over to the table. "Are you guys here to recruit?" I asked.
"The Rise of the Creative Class" by Richard Florida
I was perusing Monocle Magazine's list of the World's Most Liveable Cities . Here's the top 20 for 2010. We'll always say that the bicycle is the most important and effective tool in our liveable toolbox. It's interesting to consider that all the cities in blue have respectable levels of Citizen Cyclists gracing their streets and cycle tracks. The cities marked in orange are working at increasing levels of bicycle traffic. At the very least we hear a lot about them in internet buzz.
Building Better Bicycle Cultures: World's Most Liveable Cities 2010
In just a couple days, Danielle and I will be headed down to Lexington, Kentucky , where I’ll be presenting at this year’s Creative Cities Summit as part of the Using Art to Change Cities panel. The summit runs from April 7 – 9, 2010, I’ll be presenting on Friday, April 9th. Here’s the panel description (good fit, no?): Most cities support traditional notions of arts and culture, the symphony, opera, ballet and museums.

Stop talking about the knowledge economy. Start building a wisdom economy.
We know we're in the middle of seismic shifts in the way the world operates. We don't know where they'll end up, or where any of us will be when the dust settles, if it ever does. Will we have a job? A pension? A home? Someone to care for us in old age?
Google and Mountain View Recast Company-Town Model - NYTimes.com
Peter DaSilva for The New York Times As Google expands in Mountain View, there has been tension with residents, as well creative uses for areas like Moffett Field, home to a NASA research center. But within this web, there is a more intense intersection where the template for a 21st-century company town is being laid down.
La culture et le développement durable
Mieux vaut passer immédiatement aux aveux : même sous la torture, je ne signerais plus aujourd'hui la moitié des textes que j'ai consacrés au fil des ans à la notion de développement durable. Sur la même lancée, je confesse que j'ai perdu récemment mes meilleurs conseillers en matière de développement durable. Pendant les années où je mettais en ligne sur Internet mes éditoriaux coiffés du terme latin de Dixit, je recevais, chaque fois qu'une de mes hérésies concernait le développement durable, quelques vertes remontrances qui, malgré ma vanité insondable, m'obligeaient à m'amender. Autant dire que ma compréhension de la notion fut à géométrie variable et qu'elle évoluera encore dès que mes critiques auront retrouvé mes traces. Je me bornerai donc à vous dire simplement et modestement où j'en suis et en quel sens évolue ma compréhension personnelle du rapport Brundtland et du développement durable.The production of knowledge has become central to economic life. Competitiveness in the 21st century market place is now characterized by the ability to translate scientific and technological knowledge into innovation. But does this render cultural and social knowledge unimportant? This unique book advocates a broader epistemological base for the term ‘knowledge’ and develops policy implications from this perspective. By examining long-term challenges, the volume argues that fresh policy thinking is needed not only in the obviously knowledge-intensive portfolios but across all areas of knowledge production and questions how the different dynamics of the knowledge era affect defence, employment, environment, indigenous and international relations, multiculturalism and urban policy.
