[ed:  Ricardo offers a resource.]

From: "Riccardo Bodini" <riccardo at rw-ventures.com>


In relation to Richard Florida's work, the following report, prepared 
for CEOs for Cities, may be of interest: 
http://www.rw-ventures.com/publications/downloads/Grads%20and%20Fads%20Paper%20Final.pdf.   


This study looked at the same questions tackled by Richard Florida in 
"The Rise of the Creative Class," using a wide range of indicators -- 
including Richard Florida's data -- and came to some quite different 
conclusions and recommendations with respect to effective economic 
development strategies.

Sincerely,

Riccardo Bodini
