Neo-conservatism is a futile attempt to control the cities. They feared losing the artists and abstract thinkers inside the mosaic of multi-cultural cities like ours.

#CPandS jane jacobs to @richard_florida creativity is everywhere, in everyone. "any good idea will have squelchers" (ppl & institutions)

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:07:52 PM
How do we battle the squelchers? Work hard not to be one. #cpands

@richard_florida megaregions, not cities, are the new reset; why? collaboration, competition #cpands

How does one squelch the squelchers? En masse, in choral chant, we drown out the voices by paring with those singing a synchronous song.

#CPandS @richard_florida Jane Jacobs saw the city as a locus of a division of labour. the city, not the company as the arena to steward

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:11:58 PM
Jane Jacobs: the city as the locus of a division of labour; what really creates economic growth: people living in a city #cpands

by dawnbuie via twitter 10/29/2009 4:11:58 PM
@richard_florida why people come to cities: to be themselves, self express, be creative. cities that work are open minded aesthetic #cpands

by dawnbuie via twitter 10/29/2009 4:14:04 PM
@kimberlysilk be-friend the squelchers. they are normally that way b/c they fear the unknown. educate, dialogue, invite them in #CPandS

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Creativity of Cities - the great book Jane Jacobs could have penned #cpands

#CPandS @Richard_Florida the world needs an example of a city that works.

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:15:18 PM
housing is too expensive in Toronto - it's getting as bad as Vancouver. How can people afford to live here as prices go up? #cpands

by dawnbuie via twitter 10/29/2009 4:16:17 PM
Am always impressed by Richard Florida's support/awe of Toronto & Canadian way if doing urbanism. #CPandS

Richard Florida closing with a challenge for Toronto: “The world needs
an example of a city that works. ...if we’re going to build creative
places & spaces, we need to do it here. There are very few places on
earth that can make this happen."

@lisatorjman you are right. Better to educate to de-squelch the would-be squelchers #cpands

by kimberlysilk via twitter 10/29/2009 4:19:25 PM
#CPandS when NY was in recession in the 70s, mayor of NYC called Toronto "the city that works" @Richard_Florida

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:19:36 PM
1st q: why can there be such a disconnect between the planning of collab and the idea that inspired it in the first place? #cpands

by micheleperras via twitter 10/29/2009 4:21:57 PM
"Neoliberalism is about controlling cities." That was spot on. Well said. #cpands

Ken Robinson: the role of a great creative leader is to not have all the great ideas but to create the conditions for great ideas. #cpands

#CPandS @sirkenrobinson role of a leader is not have all great ideas, but to make the conditions for everyone else to have the good ideas

How can we make collaboration&innovation more inclusive&diverse? How can minorities contribute 2the conversation in a meaningful way?#CPandS

by takingitglobal via twitter 10/29/2009 4:25:52 PM
what are the 'right' conditions for a creativity/innovation to emerge in a city? #cpands

by tonyasurman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:26:08 PM
#CPandS @sirkenrobinson good leadership doesn't involve giving people ideas, but instead means giving them permission to have their own

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:26:29 PM

#CPandS @Richard_Florida how do we promote intuitions...a city that works is one that activates intuitions

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:29:07 PM
@richard_florida asks what is the role of intuition is in creating these conditions? #cpands

by tonyasurman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:29:17 PM
Creative leadership requires cultivating the strengths of others: Validating, giving permission,supporting ideas.#cpands

by MichelleMalott via twitter 10/29/2009 4:29:58 PM
intuition comes from experience #cpands

by caseywong via twitter 10/29/2009 4:30:07 PM
#CPandS @sirkenrobinson we've created a false assumption that creativity = irrational, intelligence = rational.

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:30:39 PM
#CPandS @sirkenrobinson we still educate kids based on their age, like their date of manufacturing

by lisatorjman via twitter 10/29/2009 4:31:36 PM
education is about conformity and standardisation: we still teach children according to age group (date of manufacture), sir ken #CPandS

by iamnehal via twitter 10/29/2009 4:31:50 PM
tweed your own thoughts I dare you #cpands

by caseywong via twitter 10/29/2009 4:31:53 PM
