The Rise of the Creative Class
"An important book for those who feel passionately about the future of the urban center.... [Florida] changed the framework for discussing social and economic inequality." --New York Times
In his modern classic The Rise of the Creative Class, urbanist Richard Florida identified the emergence of a new social class reshaping the twenty-first century's economy, geography, and workplaces. This creative class is a diverse group of engineers and managers, academics and musicians, entrepreneurs and designers, lawyers and programmers, unified by their engagement in creative work. It has transformed cities and suburbs across the globe.
Now updated with a new preface considering the latest developments in our changing cities, The Rise of the Creative Class is the definitive edition of this foundational book on our contemporary economy.
"Interesting, provocative, and smart." --Boston Globe
"An intellectual tour-de-force." --Globe and Mail
