Cities have always been centres for development and innovation. Proximity between people facilitates the exchange of ideas and goods. The urban model also makes it easier for people to move from one job to another. The concentration of knowledge and experience increases competition and productivity, and wages rise. All this activity also generates the need for new infrastructures and services. Without cities there would be no theatres, no big museums or libraries. Culture, entertainment, in short, quality of life, is also one of the great driving forces of talent.
