Cool towns + 'hollywood model' = CoolTown Studios


CoolTown Studios and the content on this daily blog represent the growing
trend of creatively entrepreneurial urban villages that are filling the
emotional and financial holes in people's lives.


It's oftentimes difficult to explain this vision. While it's far easier to
understand by people who have lived and worked in places like Greenwich Village,
Cambridge and the West Bank of Paris, perhaps learning the meaning behind
CoolTown studios will help.


'Cool' - as defined on
Monday's blog
, is taking the collective definitions of 'cool' by future
tenants and residents and translating that into a...


'Town' - "any large, closely populated place; an urban area with a
fixed boundary that is smaller than a city".
We're not talking about
building cities (that takes decades), or neighborhoods (usually just housing),
but places you can live, work, shop, play and learn with an identifiable town
center.


'Studios' - as defined on
Tuesday's blog
, is based on the increasingly popular and effective
customization-oriented hollywood
model
of bringing the best people together with the best leadership to
create the best product. Efficient, cost effective, inspiring, fun and often
prolific.
