Tầng lớp sáng tạo là tầng lớp tạo ra nhiều công ăn việc làm nhất. Nơi nào hội đủ 3 yếu tố Tài năng, Kỹ thuật và sự khoan dung thì chất xám của sự sáng tạo sẽ đổ về nơi đó
This document summarizes Richard Florida's book "The Rise of the Creative Class" which argues that economic growth is now driven by the rise of a new "creative class" whose members engage in creative problem solving. It discusses Florida's three "T's" of economic growth - Technology, Talent, and Tolerance - and how regions that score highly on these factors are most likely to attract creative workers and experience strong economic growth. The document provides an overview of Florida's theories and criticisms of his work, and summarizes how certain companies like W.L. Gore organize themselves to foster creativity and innovation.
Thomas Friedman combines narrative and case studies to illustrate how progress and technology are leading to a flattening of the world. He stresses that countries must adapt to remain competitive and suggests focusing on leadership, education, infrastructure, and policies that encourage innovation. Friedman also provides rules for companies to succeed in a flat world, such as collaborating, acting small to empower customers, and constantly self-evaluating.

Startup Cities: Montreal, Canada - Me Convention 2018Chinwag
Ben Clayton, Founding Partner of Integrative Permaculture presented Montreal as part of the Startup Cities programme at the Me Convention 2018 in Stockholm featuring 20 cities, hosted by Sam Michel.

Nearly every major metro region in America is experiencing great economic stress. Amazingly, stakeholders in every region are disconnected, disjointed and unable to effectively communicate. There exists no common vision, strategy or framework for including and empowering all of the region's residents.
Local innovation ecosystems are fragmented, with leaders operating in their own independent silos. And historically underserved and disconnected peoples and communities are so far behind they are losing ground daily as the explosive growth of innovation hubs and the startup culture threatens to leave them behind permanently.
The Innovation Economy Epiphany Workshop introduces the BIG PICTURE in a way that all audiences can clearly understand. In this workshop, the key issues of a common local vision, common understanding, common strategies, inclusive frameworks and open collaboration are threaded throughout.
But how do we develop a common vision, common understanding, and a strategic approach toward economic inclusion and increased regional competitiveness?
How do we empower those who have fallen far behind to not only participate in the innovation economy but become productive in job growth and wealth creation?
And how can we identify and scale up what's working in each local region?
What role does education play in the "economic future" of each region?
And how do we get local stakeholders to break down the walls of competitive silos to collaborate for the benefit of each generation?
This workshop is an innovative approach to aligning the disjointed, connecting the disconnected and empowering individuals, communities and regions to develop a sustainable pipeline to productivity process that increases job growth and regional economic competitiveness through the framework of local innovation, inclusion and impact.
You will emerge from this workshop with a significantly greater understanding of how your local innovation ecosystem works, your role in it and an understanding of how you can be part of the solution to the challenges your region faces.
This workshop is step one of a process that will open your eyes to a 21st century economic imperative and national vision of Inclusive Competitiveness. It is a must-attend event for anyone concerned about the economic future of their community, region and state.
The America21 Project is a national nonprofit dedicated to changing the economic narrative across Black and Urban America.
America21 promotes an Inclusive Competitiveness economic strategy in a fast-paced, knowledge-based, tech-driven global innovation economy.
America21 promotes an economic framework from the pipeline of education to the productivity of entrepreneurship based on three core pillars of the Innovation Economy:
STEM Education
(science, technology, engineering and math)
High-Growth Entrepreneurship
Access to Capital and Capital Formation
America21 seeks to connect economically disconnected communities and sectors with regional innovation clusters to strengthen the economic competitiveness of the nation by investing in all of America's talent pools.
This is a bold and historic declaration to a nation that has yet to rally around investing and supporting the success of its Black boys.
Our approach is to inform and educate leaders and influencers: i.e. policymakers, educators, professionals, business and community leaders, investors, philanthropists, clergy, pro athletes and celebrities.
We believe too many leaders and influencers of America's Black boys are disconnected from the knowledge and networks that drive the 21st century innovation economy.
The result is a generation of lost, confused and angry youth who grow into lost, confused and angry men. They, in turn, continue to perpetrate the cyclical problem. The goal of our campaign is awareness and intervention.
So, we focus on the adults. The leaders. Those in positions of power and influence. And it is these folks we call to gather at our summits. It is these leaders and influencers we call upon to support our efforts.
Our campaign speaks of the problems and challenges, but only as the opening toward introducing and implementing solutions. Our summits Introduce unique visionary frameworks and call for a coalition of committed collaborators to work with us in implementing solutions that will disrupt the status quo and leverage today's innovative constructs, networks, technologies and opportunities to produce exponential (versus incremental) progress. The result is what we call Inclusive Competitiveness. The process is what we call Pipeline2Productivity.
Our boys are talented. They are creative. They are smart. They hold within an inherent ingenuity that, if sufficiently tapped, could unleash a torrent of innovative entrepreneurs, job growth and generational wealth creation that benefits the overall economic competitiveness of every local region and the global economic competitiveness of the nation.
Will you join us in making an investment in America’s Black Boys?
We believe it is a 21st century national economic imperative.
We hope you agree.

Talent attraction & entrepreneurship. Global Metro ConferenceFernando Martin
This document discusses the relationship between entrepreneurship and talent attraction. It argues that innovation and creativity are crucial for strong economic performance. To attract talent, a city needs a high-tech industry, job opportunities, and a high quality of life. Attracting talent is also tied to attracting high-tech industries to generate employment. Cities compete in attracting talent and creating value. While entrepreneurship and talent attraction are different, they face similar issues and what cities can do to foster entrepreneurship, like facilitating networks and an open culture, are also important for attracting talent. Whether they are part of the same equation depends on the focus of the city.
The America21-BDPA Innovation Leadership Summit & Dinner is a networking event in concert with the 34th Annual Black Data Processing Associates Conference in Baltimore, Maryland at the Baltimore Hilton Hotel on July 31, 2012.
This unique summit will focus on the challenges and opportunities in developing an innovation ecosystem and infrastructure that nurtures job growth and wealth creation, from the pipeline of STEM education to the productivity of tech entrepreneurship and capital investment.
This event is for serious-minded leaders who want to change the current economic paradigm and build an access channel for Black America to compete in the 21st century innovation economy.
The document discusses developing students to become globalized learners. It defines globalization as the acceleration of integration and interdependence seen over the last 10,000 years through increased trade, technology, and sharing of knowledge. To succeed in this environment, students will need skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to learn and adapt. Nearly two-thirds of new jobs will require postsecondary education and training. Developing globalized learners requires equipping students with both traditional academic knowledge and applied skills to solve real-world problems.
Globalization has led to significant changes in education through increased capitalism, technology, and cultural blending. Capitalism and the free market have commoditized education and increased competition and specialization. Information technology has made education more effective by using multimedia and allowing online/distance learning, but has also increased demands for new technical skills. Globalization is homogenizing languages and demanding multilingual skills, while also leading to a cultural "curry" or blend. Education must recognize and accommodate this cultural diversity to promote social cohesion and peace in an interconnected world.

Brazil has a unique culture that is a blend of indigenous, Portuguese, and African influences. Some key cultural traits include an emphasis on personal relationships, paternalism, flexibility, and jeitinho. Regional differences also exist. When expanding into Brazil, companies should understand these cultural dimensions to effectively manage a multicultural workforce and build strong relationships. With continued globalization, commonalities across emerging economies like Brazil will also help define its future development.
Cultural design aesthetics have become less isolated and influence each other to evolve a global design standard as technology spreads. Differences between countries in aesthetics and interactions continue to meld. What is the future of international design? How can we design an experience that people feel connected to and love regardless of their location?
The document discusses Richard Florida's concept of the "Creative Class" and the "3Ts" (Technology, Talent, and Tolerance) that are important for regional economic growth. It defines the Creative Class as workers in technology, arts, professional/managerial, and education occupations. Regions need high concentrations of all three Ts - a developed technology base, a large percentage of talented/creative workers, and an inclusive culture of diversity and openness - to attract creative talent and spur innovation that drives economic growth. A fourth T of "Territory Assets" like amenities, quality of life factors and an authentic local culture are also important for regions to appeal to creative workers and prosper.
The passage discusses the rise of the creative class and its impact on American cities. It defines three occupational classes - the creative class, working class, and service class - and their respective roles in society. The creative class, consisting of super-creative core and creative professionals, pioneers new ideas and pushes cultural norms. The passage then analyzes how events over the past century, such as the world wars, space race, and internet, shaped the growth of the creative class through building infrastructure, domestic evolution, and innovation and entertainment. This led to more work and money and the emergence of the creative economy in the late 20th century.

MIAMI - Toward Shared Prosperity As A Creative And Inclusive Global CityDoris Chang
The document summarizes a report on Greater Miami's economy produced by the FIU-Miami Creative City Initiative in collaboration with the Creative Class Group. It finds that while Greater Miami has significantly diversified and deepened its historically tourism-based economy, it now faces challenges to leverage its assets to foster shared prosperity. The report outlines 10 areas for focus, including taking greater advantage of the region's size and scale, leveraging its role as a globalization hub, building a fully creative economy, addressing inequality, and embracing sustainable growth through transit investment. It aims to spur strategic thinking on the region's economic future.
This document discusses bridging the virtual and physical through "NetHood" communities. It proposes combining online communities and neighborhood networks using social software and wireless technologies. Key challenges include building common interest, ensuring privacy and independence, and creating incentives for participation. The speaker advocates cross-disciplinary research on social software design, resource sharing mechanisms, and understanding community motivations to better support self-organized neighborhood networks.
Architectural Space as a Network - Physical and Virtual CommunitiesUCL
Presentation at Workshop 'Innovation at the Verge - Computational Models of Physical / Virtual Space Interaction'; Leiden/NL, 18 Dec 2012
This talk explores the role of architectural space as a network that structures patterns of co-presence of occupants. It is suggested that one outcome of the configuration of space (in buildings or cities) is to structure a field of potential co-presence between people – a ‘virtual community’ - which gives rise to real encounter networks as people move through and inhabit it. Through the structure of physical space and the associated field of potential co-presence social groupings are either conserved, or new groupings are generated. Examples are given to illustrate this.
It is furthermore suggested that society coheres by means of both spatial and transpatial solidarities, which means individuals will participate in multiple distinct networks at the same time. Spatial networks are generated through face-to-face encounter in architectural space, and are dependent on spatial relational structures, while transpatial ties result from shared values, ethos and identities.
As technologies become more and more ubiquitous, they increasingly structure people’s patterns of interaction and seemingly move them away from physical space and into a new realm of online communities. This raises the question of whether physical space still plays the role it used to play and how we can conceptualise multiple overlapping network affiliations in both physical and virtual spaces. Therefore the affordances of technology in offering means of communication and encounter across time and space are discussed and put into perspective of the real life face-to-face networks of people realised in physical space.
This document outlines the syllabus for a course on the creative city. It discusses key concepts like psychogeography, the derive, and situationalism. Students will explore the city through assignments focused on inequality, work and leisure, non-human time, and unofficial histories. They will create personal maps tracing their movements throughout the term. The course covers artists who use walking and landscapes in their work, and examines how everyday urban spaces are shaped by systems of power and consumption. It also discusses locative art games that encourage experiencing cities in new ways.
Disrupting Documentary: Ecstatic Truth & Elusive FictionShannon Walsh
This document discusses different approaches to documentary filmmaking such as direct cinema, ecstatic truth, and elusive fiction. It provides examples of films that exemplify these concepts, including Chronicle of a Summer, Little Dieter Needs to Fly, and Jia Zhangke's films. The document also discusses the relationship between truth, objectivity, and subjectivity in documentaries. Key thinkers cited include Werner Herzog, Abbas Kirostami, and Michel Brault.
Urban morphology, elements of urban designAbdul Rab
This document provides an overview of urban design topics including urban morphology, elements of urban design, and the nature of urban design projects in public and private developments. It defines urban morphology as the study of the form and development of human settlements. It then discusses some key elements of urban design like buildings, public spaces, streets, transportation, and landscaping. Finally, it describes how urban design projects are carried out through public-private partnerships, with the private sector taking on financial and operational risks and the public sector providing funding or subsidies.
This document discusses the concepts and objectives of urban morphology. Urban morphology is defined as the study of the physical form and development of human settlements. It examines the shape and structure of settlements as well as their transformation over time under various forces. The document outlines different types of settlement patterns, forms, and structures. It also discusses the determinants that influence a settlement's morphology, including physical, functional, social, cultural, economic, and political factors. The objectives of urban morphology include improving comfort, accessibility, diversity and other qualities of urban form.
The document provides a brief history of urban form from early settlements to modern times. It covers the key determinants and elements that shaped cities at different periods, including:
- Early settlements were shaped by natural features and trade routes, with organic growth structures.
- Medieval cities had defensive walls, marketplaces, and churches at their core.
- Renaissance and Baroque cities emphasized aesthetics, urban scenery, and aggrandizement of rulers through architectural projects.
- 19th century cities underwent grand renewals focused on hygiene, mobility, and speculation through plans like Haussmann's redesign of Paris.
- Early 20th century modernist planning prioritized zoning, standardization, and separating functions

¿Qué es y qué supone la clase creativa? tolerancia, talento y tecnología para...Brainventures
The document discusses Richard Florida's concept of the "creative class" and its economic implications. It defines the creative class as workers in creative industries and occupations, like scientists, engineers, artists, and entrepreneurs. Florida's research found the creative class is drawn to locations with diversity, talent, and tolerance. His work suggests policies and values traditionally associated with liberalism and progressivism, like diversity and openness, are drivers of economic growth and help attract the creative class. Embracing these values can position regions and cities to benefit from the growing creative economy.
The document summarizes that empowering more Americans to compete in the innovation economy is important for national economic competitiveness. It notes that Johnathan Holifield of NorTech believes this is a national economic imperative. The summary highlights the key point that for a nation to reach its highest economic goals, it needs to ensure more of its population is productively engaged in the innovation economy.
The document discusses key terms related to urbanization such as millionaire cities, megacities, and world cities. It defines millionaire cities as having over 1 million people, megacities as over 10 million people, and world cities as having great global influence due to financial status and commercial power. Examples given are New York, London, and Tokyo. The document also examines patterns of urbanization, noting areas that urbanized first and are increasing most rapidly, like Africa and Asia. Causes of urban growth discussed include natural population increase and rural-urban migration due to push factors like lack of land and pull factors like employment opportunities.
A Creative Manifesto: Why the Place You Choose to Live is the Most Important ...guestca2ed6
By Richard Florida. Published as a ChangeThis manifest.
Increasingly, the place you choose to live will help determine your success in business, in finding a life partner, and in living a fulfilling life. In fact, it may be the most important decision of your life. I believe that we are in the beginnings of a shift as fundamental as the industrial revolution was over a century ago—one that will have as dramatic an impact on how people live and work. Furthermore, it will have a dramatic impact on where they live and work.
This document discusses generational differences in the workplace. It provides statistics showing that engagement levels vary between generations, with millennials offering different skills than older generations. While 59% of business leaders give recent graduates poor grades for job readiness, 74% of non-millennials agree millennials add value. The document notes generation management has underestimated differences between cultures and that in the Netherlands, a multi-cultural view is needed given the diversity there, especially in large cities. It concludes with tips for managing a multigenerational, multicultural department like focusing on strengths and value differences bring rather than problems.
Millennials are typically defined as those born between 1980 and 2000. Altogether, there are 1.8 billion millennials in the world, roughly a quarter of the world’s population. Today, about one-third of the American workforce are millennials. However, by 2025, they will represent three-quarters of the world’s workforce. Aware of this, established firms must adapt, to better align with their qualifications, tastes and expectations.
We will present millennials as part of the workforce but also as part of our society as a whole, and so we will finally frame them as challenging target customers for companies.

Global cities are major hubs for economic activity, culture, innovation, and authority in the modern world. They are characterized by large financial markets and corporate headquarters, top universities and cultural institutions, and high concentrations of skilled workers. However, global cities also face challenges like inequality, poverty, pollution, and lack of affordable housing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, global cities have seen reduced economic activity and human interaction as more people work remotely.
This document compares and contrasts French and US approaches to luxury. While both aim to create memorable brand experiences, there are cultural differences in their approaches. French luxury emphasizes history, artisanship, and cultural experiences for elites, with a focus on long-term image building. US luxury prioritizes newness, pragmatism, celebrity endorsements, and entertaining socialites, with more of an emphasis on short-term commercial returns. Digital engagement also differs, with Americans being early adopters of social media and the French following later.

The document discusses the potential for creativity and creative enterprises to support rural economic development. It argues that creativity is prevalent in rural communities and can take many forms beyond just arts and culture, including applying creativity to product design, marketing, and other business functions. Nurturing creative clusters in rural areas requires identifying and supporting the many small creative businesses and freelancers that often go uncounted. Policies and programs that provide design and business assistance, networking opportunities, education, and tourism promotion can help rural communities leverage their creative assets for economic growth.
The document discusses how location and place matter more in today's knowledge economy than previously thought. While technology has made it possible to work remotely, talented workers still cluster in certain cities and regions that provide amenities and opportunities for collaboration. These "superstar cities" experience growth in jobs and wealth as a result. Additionally, attracting and retaining young college graduates is critical for economic success, as this demographic prioritizes quality of life factors over job opportunities when deciding where to live. The role of traditional college towns is discussed as an important model for attracting young talent.
Mastering the Metro: How Metro Regions Can Win Friends and Influence EconomiesJesse Budlong
Metropolitan regions that have created successful networks share some common characteristics. They measure what really matters to their regional economies, like export orientation and industry clusters, rather than superficial metrics. They are confident enough in their unique strengths to resist copying other regions' strategies. And they balance short-term goals with long-term aspirations through collaboration across city and suburban boundaries. Highly effective networks focus on their distinctive competitive advantages to compete globally despite lack of federal support.
The document discusses several global population trends including aging populations in developed countries, rapid growth of youth populations in developing countries and the Muslim world, and unprecedented urbanization worldwide. It notes challenges such as declining global labor force growth as more countries experience population aging, as well as opportunities for solutions through policies promoting flexibility, globalization, education, and innovation to address these demographic changes and their economic and social impacts.

Globalization And The Impact Of Globalization In The...Nicole Savoie
Globalization has had an uneven impact in Medellin, Colombia. While it has benefited sectors like security and energy efficiency through infrastructure like cable cars, it has not significantly impacted politics or the economy. However, these areas have still improved compared to the 1990s. Medellin can use globalization to reduce unemployment and increase economic value, such as through developing transportation infrastructure in poorer areas to connect them to jobs. This has led to commercial changes and new business opportunities in these areas. While Medellin and Colombia face challenges with internationalization, globalization remains a tool for development when implemented moderately and inclusively.
Fernand Braudel's theory argues that "world-economies" are centered around a single dominant city that directs trade and development, creating a hierarchy from the urban core to peripheral zones. Over time, the dominance of individual cities as leaders of global trade has shifted, from Venice and Genoa in medieval Europe to London in the 19th century and New York in the 20th century. Saskia Sassen notes that today's global cities serve as command posts for managing the global economy and producing advanced services, though their influence may be dispersed among networks of interconnected cities worldwide. Rapid urbanization, especially in Africa and Asia, is extending networks of migration from towns to larger regional cities and eventually to global city networks
The document discusses several key concepts related to levels of development:
1. It describes common terms used to describe levels of development such as developed, developing, underdeveloped, and categories like First, Second, Third World.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
