I interviewed Richard Florida for the inaugural podcast produced by Common Edge Collaborative, a nonprofit established by Martin Pedersen to engage the public in architecture, urban planning and design. Richard Florida’s first book, The Rise of the Creative Class, catapulted him to academic stardom by identifying the trends that were revitalizing American cities. His latest book, The New Urban Crisis, takes a hard look at the dark side of all the trends he identified fifteen years ago, and how cities will have to solve daunting problems on a global scale.
