Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal don’t even make it into Canada’s 10 most entrepreneurial cities’ list
Cities are humankind’s greatest invention, according to Harvard economics professor Edward Glaeser. In his book Triumph of the City, he credits them for making us richer, smarter, greener, healthier and happier. Some of those adjectives may be surprising because urban life can also include grime, poverty and decay, but on deeper reflection he is right.
There is no single factor that makes a community more entrepreneurial than the rest and these influences can ebb and flow over time with the economy, but looking at the full range, we again see resource regions in the North and Western Canada high on the list along with mid-size regional centres in Central Canada.
It is surprising and disappointing that more eyes have not been cast towards the role governments play in the local economic picture
