Evaluation of Creativity of the Russian Regional Communities
https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2008-9-50-69
Abstract
Russian regional communities are measured by aggregate creativity index. Seven indicators grouped according to R. Florida’s approach into three indices of talent, technology, and tolerance are the basis of this evaluation. As the result one can reveal two types of creative regions: highly urbanized regions, mega city-regions, and two types of outsiders of this ranking: agroindustrial republics and old industrial oblasts.
