description: Its a mantra of the age of globalization that where we live doesnt matter. We can innovate just as easily from a ski chalet in Aspen or a beachhouse in Provence as in the office of a Silicon Valley startup.According to Richard Florida this is wrong. Globalization is not flattening the world; in fact place is increasingly relevant to the global economy and our individual lives. Where we live determines the jobs and careers we have access to the people we meet and the mating markets in which we participate.
