Abstract
Alicia Keys breathlessly captured her love for New York as a place ‘where dreams are made of’. Global cities capture the intensity of life, nightlife, music, ambition and the future. Second-tier cities remain ‘sticky’, quirky, different and defiant. The third-tier cities are the garbage dump of the world, bearing the scars of industrialization, pollution, depopulation and decaying infrastructure. Even the schemes used to rebuild these regions focus on schools and families. While schools and families are important, there are many stages of life. While Richard Florida’s creative cities, classes and regions over-egged the excitement of bohemia, there is an importance—rhetorically at least—in claiming the value of tolerance, technology and talent. Such a strategy allows urban planners to understand city residents through their lifetime and understand the intricacies and emotions of these places.
