Are all creative and innovating cities similar or all different?
Areas of intensive innovation are frequently located in large cities, like San Francisco is the creative side of Silicon Valley. Such areas mostly appear spontaneously, stemming from the need for cheap rents and attractive living conditions. In Paris, Lisbon, Helsinki and Berlin, such areas are valuable in terms of creativity, quality of life and economic growth. How can such new spaces be created, promoted and mapped to make larger cities more attractive?
Please stop by at CNAM - Amphi Jean Fourastié to listen to how Berlin, Lisboa and Helsinki make a difference as creative and innovative cities. Tomorrow 4:00 PM. Maybe they picked me because of http://j.mp/SmartCitiesIDATE ?
