“I like what Barcelona is doing. This city almost perfectly combines its natural advantages with cultural attractions, IT parks and first-rate educational opportunities. The same applies for Dublin, which manages to achieve a blend of complexity, tolerance and artistry and makes a point of not devoting every part of the city to the tourism industry. Sometimes creativity also means forgoing short-term profits and simply saying no.” FirstsMeanSometimesOpportunityTermNaturalCitiesCreativityAchieveIndustryAdvantageRateProfitEducationalAttractionToleranceManageComplexityParksShort TermTourismSaying NoArtistryBarcelonaDublinTourism Industry Author:Charles Landry

And green solutions are becoming more and more important.” ImportantCitiesTechnologyHavensBecomingSolutionsAdvantageGreenEnvironmentalPioneersBecoming More Author:Charles Landry
