Bohemia is no longer a small and embattled refuge for society's weirdoes and starving artists. According to Vanderbilt professor Richard Lloyd, it is now an established district in every medium-sized city that drives up real estate prices. He calls it "Neo-Bohemia," and we'll talk to him about his book on the topic, Neo-Bohemia: Art and Commerce in the Postindustrial City, and find out how cities are promoting these districts as a lifestyle amenity.
We'll also talk with Rich Bendis who is working to turn Philadelphia's creative economy into an international development asset for the city as head of Innovation Philadelphia, a public/private partnership dedicated to increasing the region's entrepreneurial capacity and positioning the city as a leader in the global knowledge economy.
