There is no one way to define cities and their creativity. The best way is to tell stories about their personality

The war on talent is over. Talent won
The war on talent is over. Talent won. This is the slogan of the World Talent Forum in Pamplona. But leaders around the world still manage to fight our current crisis by investing in infrastructure or bailing out companies, instead of investing in talent. Just spoke to my old friend Richard Florida. He said this is not a Depression, it is The Great Reset. Our whole economic and societal systems are being reset for the creative economy. The city or region that gets the message that if you invest in the development of talent and everyone's creativity NOW , will be far ahead of everyone when the crisis is over. Is your city going to get it? Or are you trying to keep farming alive when everyone around you is building factories. 'There's something happening here and you don't know what it is, do you Mr. Jones?'
