Mapping Personality

March 25, 2008 · 1 Comment

Richard Florida’s most recent book Who’s Your City is the logical extension of his previous work and like these previous books I am excited and terrified at what the implications are for planning and urban design. There is a recent interview on Soapboxmedia about his latest book as it relates to Cincinnati.

One of the more interesting excerpts that I have seen is this map of personalities. Cincinnati is noticeably neurotic.

    The whole Ohio river valley is neurotic, including Pittsburgh, and so is a large part of Oklahoma, but neither to the extent of NYC. Should be an interesting read.
