讲座内容:
30年来,美国主要大都市和地区经历了一个重新洗牌的过程。创意资本理论即揭示了,从工业经济向知识经济转换过程中,这些都市和区域如何各自经历淘汰、革新、复兴、崛起等过程。目前的知识经济与传统经济的一个最为明显的区别,就是价值的创造主体发生了重要转变,以物质资本为核心的价值体系逐步转变为以创新为核心的知识资本价值创造体系。创意已成为攸关一个城市、一个地区或一个国家发展的原动力。创意资本理论不仅确证,有一种类型的人力资本,也即创意人,是经济增长的关键,而且进一步辨认出了影响这些人士选择地点的根本因素。创意阶层的聚集为地方带来创意资本,而创意阶层之所以会聚集在特定的地方,是因为该地方具有独特的性质与吸引力。为解释创意阶层与特定地域之间的关系,创意资本理论提出了经济增长的“三T”公式,即科技(technology)、人才(talent)与包容(tolerance)。这场讲座将结合创意资本理论,分析30年来美国主要大都市重新洗牌的过程,以作为中国城市发展的经验。

Lecture Description:
By the creative capital theory, the keydifference between the knowledge economy and the traditional economy lies inthe critical change of the creative forces of value. The value system with thematerial capital as core has been gradually shifting to that of knowledgecapital with the innovation as core. Creativity has become the primary drivingforces of development of every city, region and nation. The creative capitaltheory explicitly illustrates the features, scale, evolving process and trendsof the development of creative economy and the necessary social conditions forits development. The most sticking contribution and feature of this theory isto find and define the group of “the creative class” and its composite,character, value, unique life style, and multi-factors to attract them as wellas the decisive role the creative class plays in social development of a regionand a nation.Grounded on the above creative capital theory,the lecture will analyze the experience and lessons drawn by the Americancities and regions from their past 30 year shifting process from industrialeconomy to knowledge economy. We believe that both of their experience andlessons will serve as inspiration and reference to Shanghai and other citiesand regions in China which aim at building innovation centers.
