Please ignore if it is not relevent. here it is:<BR/>"Richard Florida has initiated a study of which regions are likely to attract 'cr eative' classes. He emphasizes that if the three Ts "technology, talent and tolerance' are in place, then the region will attract highly skilled workers in creative occupations. These studies are still disputed and should probably be considered preliminary. Some of his writings are in his website: <BR/>http://www.creativeclass.org/ and a short article by him is in the October 29 issue of The New scientist ( Special issue on creativity). According to him for all the rising global prominence of Bangalore and Shanghai, these two still do relatively little at cutting edge. "In 2003, the University of California alone generated more patents than India and China". Most science advances and innovations seem to occur in a handful of cities, primarily in USA and Europe. India and China do register in economic activity but he says that India and China are becoming more divided: "as Bangalore, Hyderabad, and parts of New Delhi and Bombay pull away from the rest of the country creating destabilizing political tensions". Perhaps the recent tensions between Infosystems and ex-primeminister Gowda are an indication of this. Even though his stidies seem somewhat preliminary, his prescriptions for creative centres seem worth looking at."gaddeswaruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509075029154476375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-1149245307971947672006-06-02T16:18:00.000+05:302006-06-02T16:18:00.000+05:30sujai,are you a one minute manager? you seems to h...sujai,<BR/>are you a one minute manager? you seems to have a lot of time to write!!!<BR/><BR/>(I'm just kidding, keep up your good work)<BR/><BR/>anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-1149229628026335582006-06-02T11:57:00.000+05:302006-06-02T11:57:00.000+05:30astha-:) where do I get those quotes from?Most of ...astha-<BR/>:) where do I get those quotes from?<BR/><BR/>Most of those (that I used) I know them.

I like your approach, but I think it might be a better idea to spawn new better located and better organized IT towns, rather than trying to work with already cramped locales. <BR/><BR/>Also, it's high time the city development boards got futuristic instead of reactive. Taking steps to deal with current infrastructural demands is not going to solve problems a year from now, leave alone the coming decade!<BR/><BR/>PS: where do you get all the great quotes you use in your posts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-1149162190878046382006-06-01T17:13:00.000+05:302006-06-01T17:13:00.000+05:30sujay mehnudia by any chace??sujay mehnudia by any chace??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-1149154124652875142006-06-01T14:58:00.000+05:302006-06-01T14:58:00.000+05:30Just a couple of vague comments since I was wonder...Just a couple of vague comments since I was wondering about this a while ago without coming to any conclusions. Brad DeLong has reviewd some books in his website and there are follow up comments and discussion by other experts. I refer to his review of Landes' book in:<BR/>http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/Econ_Articles/Reviews/landes.html<BR/>From the discussion I could not see any agreed conclusion. Perhaps why Britain went ahead of other nations at that stage was the early start in industrial revolution and may be the existence of financial institutions which were prepared to take some risks. More recently Richard Florida has this theory of three T's which make some centres attractive for the creative class.I think that for this kind of culture to develop, it may take more time if we are not too bogged down by language, race, rural-urban problems. Compared to famines during the British time, India essentially eliminated large scale famines by 60's. To catch up in other areas may be slower evolution since the desires and requirements of the affluent have increased (foreign trips used to be a rarity, but now many my classmates visit US to see their children). I do not see any quick solutions except growth and a million fights about distribution of the wealth.gaddeswaruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509075029154476375noreply@blogger.com
