Abstract

The collection of knowledge embodied in people in a central location has become a factor in increasing economic growth, innovation and well-being in a society. Thus, the debate on the highly skilled is also connected to questions of power and wealth in nations and regions. Therefore, it is essential to discuss the location factors that are important to retain and attract highly qualified people. Economically strong countries and urban areas usually have locational advantages. This chapter briefly discusses the role of place independent of technological progress and advancing globalization, and focuses, first, on the highly skilled in relation to location and development of an area and, second, on locational factors and amenities that are and will be important for tomorrow’s talents.
