Background
The importance of creativity as a driving force in regional economic growth and
prosperity has been previously documented by one of us (Florida, 2002a; 2002b;
2002c). However, the mechanisms of this relationship not well understood. Knudsen
et al (2003) have shown that innovative activity within a region is positively associated
with population density and creative-class workforce, both jointly and separately. The
explanation put forth suggests, but does not confirm, that high levels of density and
creative-class employment create conditions under which innovations generated by the
interactions between individuals are more likely to occur. In this paper we present
evidence of these innovation-generating interactions.
