In the new economy, it will be the cities that are the most creative which will prosper and those cities which are best able to attract the most creative people.
The Co-Founder of the New York based Intelligent Community Forum, Lou Zacharilla is impressed with Saint John, having visited the city a couple of times and spoke recently as part of a forum at the university on the What’s the future Saint John.
He argues the most creative people are not necessarily attracted to the largest cities and economics alone will not be enough to attract those people.
Zacharilla also tells CHSJ News all of us have a creative instinct and 6 year old children see themselves as being creative but by age 26, only 5 per cent of us believe we are.
