  1. 'Psychological Rewards' and the FirstCity‘s Command over its National Space: Greater Tel Aviv as a Case in Point Prof. Baruch A. Kipnis The University of Haifa, Israel Presentation the 5th Bi-National Regional Science Workshop - - UK-IsraelTel Aviv, 29-30/4/2007

  2. The main Issues • What is the notion of a place’s psychological rewards, what are the place’s attributes that foster their development? • Who belongs to a place's creative agencies [who are those who operate the place’s creative industries?], and how are they linked to the notion ofpsychological rewards? • Why is a First City, usually a World City, a placein which psychological rewards meet the wants of the place’s agents of human creativity? • How does Tel Aviv (the city and metropolis) Israel’s First City and World City, govern Israel’s economy and its social and cultural life? • Is Tel Aviv an exception, or is a leading role of a First City a universal phenomena? • Is there a workable solution to the dominating role of Tel Aviv?

  3. What do we mean by ‘psychological rewards’An upgrade of Florida, (2005) ‘creative environment’. In a creative economy, places, shouldn't be measured in terms of GDP – instead, they should be indexed according to the happiness of people who live there.“ …"there are certain things that promote our wellbeing, happiness and personal fulfillment: • The quality and diversity of our living, work and cultural environment • The ease of access to our place’s intrinsic opportunities and essential services and infrastructures • The nature of our job and our personal life This presentation, refers to the above qualities of a place, as the place's 'psychological rewards'.

  4. ‘Psychological Rewards’/cont The creativity of a place is a reflection of what Buswell (1983) named [as a metaphor] the place's 'psychological rewards', an asset of a place endeavoring to perform as one labeled by Malecki (1980) as a white collar environment of a postindustrial ambience. Florida's creative environment is a large urban agglomeration, competing for highly mobile talented people by adopting competitive and creative goals, and noticed by its three Ts: • Talent - the creative human capital, those who engage in creative work. • Technology - the level of the place's high-tech innovative activity. • Tolerance - the qualities of a place as liberal and tolerant, both vital for attracting talented people capable of generating new ideas.

  5. ‘Psychological Rewards’ and ‘Creative Agencies’ The concept of psychological rewards is more inclusive than that of Florida's tolerance. It contains, in addition to human and social attributes, a variety of physical, cultural, and service attributes. It reflectsthediversified qualities of the place’s creative agents including: • The affluent (the supper rich and TCC) • The skilled managers and professional experts whoform the quinary and the quaternary sectors and run [for the affluent) the nation’s globally oriented economy. • The providers (human and institutions) of public and private services - - in education, health and community, cultural and leisure services. • The place’s cultural creators and performers.

  6. ‘Psychological Rewards’, ‘Creative Ambience’ and the ‘First City’ • A symbiosis between the creative agents of a place and the place's psychological rewards, a requisite for a postindustrial 'white collar' environment, is vital for leveraging urban growth. • Such a symbiosis, is best revealed in the context of a 'First City’ (Hall and Pain, 2006), usually a ‘World City’, possessing the needed entry thresholds*for a vast range of psychological rewards. • A First City, a favorable place of activity for the affluent and their skilled labor ofthe quinary and quaternary sectors, is apt to hosta creative ambient endowed withample amounts of‘Psychological Rewards’. *Other concepts of the Central Place Theory are at work: they are therange of good, nesting, multiple activity, node.
