How the Creative Economy is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life

Richard Florida, author of the best-selling book The Rise of the Creative Class is back with an acclaimed new book called Who's Your City? Critics applaud Florida for his discussions of "the power of place" and "why certain cities sing to certain people."

Based on more than 20 years of research, the book shows how a new economic unit--the mega-region--is the real driver of the global economy. Florida provides detailed rankings of the best places to live for every major stage of life--for both gay and straight couples and singles, and for those on a budget and those luckily not. His insight provides an essential guide for the more than 40 million Americans and tens of millions more around the world who move each year, showing how the arts and other creative industries make certain cities more desirable. 374 pp, hardcover (2008)
