Richard Florida writes urban and economic analysis about cities, work, migration and the concentration of highly skilled industries. The Rise of the Creative Class argues that cities increasingly compete for workers in knowledge, technology, arts and other creative occupations, linking economic growth with openness, amenities and urban culture.
