    This is an interesting concept in cities and growth. It is one which has largely seen the city of Berlin flourish since the ‘wall’ came down. Berlin’s active creative arts population moved in to disused warehouses and found themselves clustered thus causing thriving areas of arts culture. The same has occurred in the technology and innovation sector in the city which through clusters now employs more Berliners than any other industry.

    I love these reports. What I am burning to know is correlations between the future labour market and locations of jobs particularly for workers who can’t access their super until they are 70. What the hell are we going to do and where can we live to do this stuff?

    Hi there,
    I’ve found this interesting as its a topic lingering in my mind for my area, i am an architect with a passion of place making and wonder if you have developed any tools now.
    I do agree with your notion that place matters and am interested in the process and tools of making ‘the place”. I do understand that place will differ due to many factors, but am optimistic that there are universal tools to place make.
