This is a great day for geography. Krugman’s Prize is a real vindication that geography is important and that the profession also thinks so. Richard still remembers when we met in Ottowa in 1989, almost 20 years ago, to lay out some of the work on cities. For those of us that have contributued to this version of our work, Richard Florida, Maryann Feldman, David Audretsch, Attila Varga, Sam Youl Lee, Catherine Armington, among others, we are all indebted to Paul for his pathbreaking work in this area. Thank you.
