Fast cities

Fast Company writes about fast cities -- those "cauldrons of creativity where the most important ideas and the organizations of tomorrow are centered. They attract the best and brightest. They are great places to work and live."

Fast cities have:

1. Opportunity.

2. Innovation.

3. Energy. This is my favorite. Here's an excerpt from the article:

"Finally, Fast Cities have energy, that ethereal thing that happens when creative people collect in one place. The indicators can seem obscure: number of ethnic restaurants, or the ratio of live-music lovers to cable-TV subscribers. But they point to environments where fresh thinking stimulates action and, by the way, attracts new talent in a virtuous cycle of creativity."

Energy makes a city alive with possibilities, opportunities -- fueling creativity.
