Quotation  :

If you ask Florida , a city is the main place where creativity flourishes; “With their diverse populations, dense social networks, and public spaces where people can meet spontaneously and serendipitously, they spark and catalyze new ideas.With their infrastructure for finance, organization and trade, they allow those ideas to be swiftly actualized.””(Florida, New York times) ”

 

 

Paraphrase :

Creativity is becoming somewhat of a lost art.Its not encouraged in schools as much as it used to be.But some think that learning about art or creativity isn’t relevant because creative individuals will be creative no matter what.”The big myth is that creativity is the province of great individual geniuses.”(Florida) “In fact creativity is a social process. Our biggest creative breakthroughs come when people learn from, compete with, and collaborate with other people.”

 

 

 

 

Summary :

 

Florida’s main point behind his article  “Cities Are the Fonts of Creativity” is that the main reason creativity isn’t flourishing nation wide is because of a lack of places where people come together and share ideas or creativity.Whether is be because there low paying job shuns creativity for production or a school dropping an Art course because of funding, creativity isn’t being allowed to develop between people.
