Cultural Shift Advocated for Cincinnati

"Minimizing the damage already done, or assigning unfair expectations to current initiatives, will do little good. Repopulating our city will take more than a handful of large-scale real estate developments, as important as they might be. It will take real cultural change on all levels."

These are the words of Nicholas Spencer of Cincinnati, who is an advocate for creative class development in Cincinnati. He says that the city needs more than big real estate development projects to get its economy going. He's right. I like his reference to a cultural shift. That is exactly what most cities need to revitalize themselves. They need to re-examine their "values" and their "value."
