Creative Providence - Frontpage
Portal page for "Creative Providence," billed as "a cultural plan for the City" by Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline. Good looking site, friendly UI, easy to navigate. Could/ should be a model for other cities (wish we'd build something like this for Cultural Capital Victoria...).
Note: somewhat mind-blowing - the City of Providence has its own Department of Art, Culture + Tourism... Wow, I guess they take this stuff seriously!

New breed of 'net newsers' shape US media habits, says Pew report | Media | guardian.co.uk
Jemima Kiss writes about the recent Pew report that describes how "well-educated, technically-savvy young web users are shaping the media habits of the US, with one in 20 Americans saying they do not watch TV on a typical day and a sharp decline in newspaper readership, according to new research."
Interesting findings on education levels and TV-watching *and* interest (lack thereof) in science and technology, too.

PDF: The Entrepreneurial Advantage of World Cities
31-page PDF (still to read), "The Entrepreneurial Advantage of World Cities," subtitled "Evidence from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Data."
From the abstract:
QUOTE
Recent discussions in the Economic Geography literature increasingly focus on creative cities and the importance of creativity for achieving economic growth. Considering the increased attention on urban areas it is not surprising that the regional dimension of entrepreneurship is a subject of great interest. We set out a framework encompassing the individual process between entrepreneurial perceptions and entrepreneurial activity and demonstrate how the urban environment can have an impact on this process.

Digital Urban: Welcome to MapTube from CASA: A Place to Put Maps
"The main principle of MapTube is that shared maps can be overlayed to compare data visually. For example, to see a map of the London Underground overlayed on top of a map of population you simply go to the search page and enter the keywords "tube" and "population". Then click on the two relevant maps to add them."
This has potential for some really fine-grained mapping, specific to local place.

" Half of Canadians Watch TV on PC" Mediacaster Magazine - 4/25/2008
- article on the results of a Rogers Communications sponsored survey, with last year/this year data, on Canadian online habits: how satisfied we are, what we're using the internet for, etc. Nothing much about local news, but the Ipsos-Reid survey people probably didn't ask that question (Q: "How much time do you spend online finding things out about your local community?" A: "Uh, probably about 80 hours...?" <jk>) (Or how about this question: "How much time do you spend 'conversing' with others about local issues?"...)

Placemaking « Stephen Rees’s blog
Stephen Rees blogs Jan Gehl's talk at the Gateway Theatre, Richmond February 28, 2008. Found via Gordon Price ("Pricetags"), otherwise I would have missed this excellent summary (and a great comments thread, too). Coincidentally, I also watched Andres Duany's very engaging talk, "On the Edge," from January 16/08 on the SFU "City Program" site (video here: http://www.sfu.ca/city/city_pgm_video014.htm). It's a bit disconcerting to think that but for a fluke, I could have missed both these items. I don't remember seeing Gehl's lecture announced, and I didn't see any media follow-ups anywhere else. Duany's lecture I knew about, but missed that a video of same was available. Well, better late than never, I guess...
