Describing the vibrant creative community

I see lots of cities promoting a ''vibrant creative community'' in the wake of Richard Florida's Creative Class and other similar reports. But few actually define what they mean by it. Which is why I liked Ottawa's take on the issue on that city's Arts and Heritage web site:

The ingredients for a vibrant creative community are diversity, a spirit of innovation, and authenticity. Local arts creation and production, and a strong awareness of our heritage are key elements in developing these qualities of place.

Not bad.
