Must a competitive city be a tolerant city?

Abstract

This necessity of inclusion is amplified by Kresl’s observation that in the US the most competitive urban areas are linked to tolerance – tolerance of individuals of various religions, sexual preferences, age, gender, races and national origin, as well as the homeless and the disabled. This goes beyond mere compatibility. The increased competitiveness of cities in the US South and West is significantly linked to movements into historically intolerant places of skilled younger workers from centers of technology such as Boston, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Silicon Valley and San Diego, as well as from university centers such as Chicago, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. This has been exacerbated by development of the I-4 Economy of the World Economic Forum. Modern transportation and communication have opened these hitherto intolerant cities to these inflows of modernity and competitiveness in a sustainable way.
