Many of the "drivers" of prosperous communities and regions -- fast growing companies, creative people, innovation hot spots, clusters -- are emergent phenomena.

Authors like Michael Porter (clusters), Richard Florida (creative people), Tom Peters (high growth companies) and, lately, Bruce Katz at Brookings (innovation districts) are looking at the same world, but from different perspectives.
