LAGUNA BEACH’S PAST IS ITS FUTURE

 

THE “CREATIVE MIND” IS US

Focusing on the Creative Mind is paramount to the future of Laguna Beach. This includes a socioeconomic group that urban theorist and professor Richard Florida has coined the “Creative Class.” The Creative Class is defined as those whose primary job function is to use their knowledge and creativity to develop new ideas, new technology, new solutions, and/or creative content. They’re not just artists, poets, designers, and writers, they are also scientists, engineers, university professors, architects, medical professionals, environmentalists, and a number of other professions just like us. And like us, they thrive in an atmosphere that feeds their curiosity and need for the types of new and inspiring experiences that flourish naturally in Laguna Beach.

 

WHAT IS "Quality of Place?"

“Quality of Place” refers to what urban theorists describes as the type of place that offer authentic and unique experiences. This quality of place attracts the creative class and people like them to contribute to creative destinations that have a quality of place. These are people who help enhance the community in a positive and progressive manner; people who are attracted to places of creativity, diversity, and intelligence. All virtually natural resources in Laguna Beach.

 

LAGUNA'S FUTURE

The brightest opportunity for the future of Laguna Beach lies in the heritage that defined us in the first place. Long ago, Laguna established itself as a culturally-unconventional city; creative; non-conformist. Open and welcoming to all lifestyles and mindsets, and filled with the vibrant and progressive happenings that can only come from such a culture. A completely organic quality of place that attracts current and future generations with a creative mind.
