Months ago I attended the II Conference on Urban Clusters through Infonomía in Barcelona. There, some of the most important trends and innovations that cities must face were analyzed. One of the most repeated phrases (and concerns) during the event was “attracting talent” and “creative economy.” For example, Alfonso Vegara, Director of the Metropoli Foundation and expert in improving urban habitat, indicated that "in the last 10 years there has been a fundamental change in the strategies of large cities: today the key is training, retention and talent acquisition. It is a planetary phenomenon, since 50% of the world's population lives in cities, a percentage that will increase to 70% in 2028. According to Vegara, "they are the cradle of creative processes and, at the same time, they are a response to the challenges of sustainability when the most important challenge before us is to build a sustainable future. creativity and innovation Jon Azua, former vice president of the government of the Basque Country and president of e-novating lab, expressed this in the same sense, for whom cities "can no longer be considered mere containers" and must become "true protagonists in attracting and retaining talent.
This context requires, in his opinion, "a new role for regions or territories" on a "new basis" that integrates four variables: network clusters, local cooperation, globalization, and the sum of knowledge, competition and connectivity. And the big European cities are fighting among themselves to attract the most innovative professionals and thus strengthen their economies. A few days ago Lidia Conde published an interesting article in Cinco Días where she analyzed creativity as a "new economic key" based on the analysis of European urban environments such as London, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Munich or Berlin. Also Industry Email List Barcelona. «According to experts, the rise of this cultural and economic elite will mark the future of work: with 20% independent professionals, 40% freelancers stably linked to companies and 40% traditional employees. 'It i says urban development theorist Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class. His thesis: creativity has become the great factor of economic success. The new chosen ones (artists, designers, media experts, engineers, lawyers, media entrepreneurs and scientists, and telecommunications specialists, whose means of production is creativity in all its forms) generate wealth.
Therefore, the economy chooses to establish itself in the cities of the new dominant status, which in turn settles in the great poles of the three Ts: technology, talent and tolerance. For the American economist, the countries of creative capital are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Scandinavian countries and Great Britain. For Beyerle, the coolest European cities today are located in Scandinavia, Great Britain (London) and Spain (Barcelona). Open societies, with important university and research centers that attract qualified people and innovative industry. 'Be yourself, pursue your vision' is his motto. «Experts agree that this new social model is the prototype that is setting the tone for new forms of work. 'While in the old industrial era we were paid to do what we were told, in the global knowledge economy responsibility, learning and critical thinking are rewarded,' adds Horx. What matters is the ability to create and innovate. The key for the future is to be proud of the work you do, enjoy learning and be curious about the complex." The aforementioned Richard Florida, professor at George Mason University, calls a creative city a complex balance between technology, talent and tolerance (a proposal that is summarized in the three.
