Who's Your City - Richard Florida's regional based analysis of Globalization

David Eaves, who created this awesome map of Firefox pledges mashed with the Pentagon's New Map by Barnett, has struck again.

Here is an awesome new map comparing the "Global Village" concept, which I crudely summarize as development and innovation led by the Mega-Cities of the world; and their presence in relation to Barnett's map. He also has a great summary of the three different levels of analysis offered in turn by Friedman, Barnett, and Florida.

The 3D approach? (Diplomacy, Defense, Development) The Villages cooperate to defend each other and build new ones in the "Gap." All of which allows them to make more money, effectively incentivizing growth and collective security.
