Richard Florida is most frequently associated with the concept of the rising creative class and his books have described how these high-paid knowledge workers are slowly changing the face of our cities. In his first book he foresaw the growth of high tech hubs in places like San Francisco and Pittsburgh and in his new book, The New Urban Crisis<\/a>, he describes the dangers we face when segregation and inequality increases as cities change.<\/p>\n

Florida equates the rise of cities to the growth of popular bands. By filling a particular niche \u2013 Pittsburgh in self-driving vehicles, Nashville in new music startups, for example \u2013 small places can begin pulling in the creative classes who leave less innovative cities behind. What\u2019s the solution for places in between \u2013 Wheeling, for example? Florida wants to see rail connections between outlying cities where housing is cheap and the \u201cspike cities\u201d where land is expensive. This is happening in dribs and drabs but if a city intends to be competitive it has to happen much faster.<\/p>\n

I interviewed Florida about his new book, what he expects out of cities in the next decade, and how the future isn\u2019t going to be awful. You can listen to us by clicking below or simply downloading an MP3<\/a>.<\/p>\n
