Technology“A high technology base is both a necessary condition for and a result of a region having a strong creative economy.
Being known as a "high-tech" region helps to attract the creative workforce, which, in turn, generates new technologies making the region even more high-tech.”
![Page 14: Overview of Creative Class and the “3Ts”](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052618/554d9f38b4c905047b8b4581/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Technology• High Technology:–Concentration of high-tech
companies–Growth of high-tech companies
• Innovation:–# of patented innovations per
1,000 people–Growth in patented innovations

Talent“The concentration of people in the Creative and Super Creative Classes, has a stronger relationship with economic growth.
Creative people don't just cluster where the jobs are. They cluster in places that are centers of creativity and also where they like to live.
Places need a people climate -- or a creativity climate -- as well as a business climate.”

Tolerance / Inclusiveness“Diversity has become a politically charged buzzword. To some it is an ideal and rallying cry, to others a Trojan-horse concept that has brought us affirmative action and other liberal abominations.
Creative Class people use the word often, but not to press any political hot buttons. Diversity is simply something they value in all its manifestations.”

Territory Assets“What Creative people look for in communities are abundant high-quality amenities and experiences, an openness to diversity of all kinds, and above all else the opportunity to validate their identities as creative people.
Places are valued for authenticity and uniqueness … Authenticity comes from several aspects of a community … It comes from the mix … Authenticity is the opposite of generic.”

Creativity Index“The key to understanding the new economic geography of creativity and its effects on economic outcomes lies in the 3T's of economic development: Technology, Talent, and Tolerance.
Each is a necessary but by itself an insufficient condition: To attract creative people, generate innovation and stimulate economic growth, a place must have all three.”
