The Rise of the Creative Class--Revisited is Richard Florida's revised and expanded edition of his influential work on creativity, talent, work, place, and urban economic change. The book argues that creative work and the people who perform it shape which cities and regions prosper, and it expands the original framework with additional research on quality of place, global creative-class dynamics, inequality, and the 3Ts of economic development: technology, talent, and tolerance. It is useful for economic developers, urban planners, civic leaders, workforce strategists, higher education partners, and anyone working on talent attraction, placemaking, innovation ecosystems, and city competitiveness.
