I thought that the internet, with social networks like Twitter, might be the next heir to the place where one can find the world's most innovative people. I'm starting to change my mind. You need trust to share important insights and nothing beats face-to-face for that.

I'd add New York City multiple times when finance was paramount. Tokyo had a moment in the 1980s, too.

Agree with you on Tokyo (but don't know enough about it), but NYC is still really powerful because of finance, which I'd argue is something different from the explosion of innovation we've seen in other cities.
