"The Creative Centers are not thriving for such traditional economic reasons as access to natural resources or transportation routes. Nor are they thriving because their local governments have given away the store through tax breaks and other incentives to lure business. They are succeeding largely because creative people want to live there. The companies then follow the people - in, in many cases, are started by them. Creative centers provide the integrated eco-system or habitat where all forms of creativity - artistic and cultural, technological and economic - can take root and flourish." - Richard Florida, The Rise of the Creative Class, p. 218
