What Makes ‘Innovation’ Happen in Some Places but Not Others?

Examples

A small town with only one store might not get new ideas very often, but a big city with lots of shops and schools can become full of inventions.
Some kids at school think up cool games to play, the ones who share their ideas and get others to join them are more likely to start something new.
When a place has money for people to try out their ideas, like starting a business or making a new app, that helps innovation happen.
