METROPOLITAN INSPIRATION
The heights of our inspiration are limited by the environment and the people around us. There are studies to suggest that creativity is better incubated in a city of higher population, where one can be exposed to many cultures and ideas which lead to new creative expression.
Escalating within groups of artists and creative people, the inspiration is rubbed off on one another to create a societal shift in that creative expression. By collaborating and sharing ideas, we learn to see the world in new perspectives and encourage empathy. Classifieds list the curious interests of citizens, skills and services that extend beyond the usual. Encased in concrete towers, each person that participates in corporate or metropolitan life is a node embedded in the structural system of society... and has the potential to influence one another.
COMMUNAL SUPPORT
Perhaps it is not unlike the hive mentality of a perfectly balanced colony of bees, where equilibrium is found in coordination when confronted with the shared challenges of outside forces. Success in coordination leads to increased productivity and cooperation beyond compare. Cites as creative hives can only thrive when the citizens they house also rejoice and support the expressions of the musicians, artists, actors and other creative producers of the community.
