We cannot state that this is because of available resources.

Think beyond the black v. white cultural thing we have going on now (and for the past few hundred years)

Let's discuss origins and outliers. 

OP, no offense since you've made an effort at understanding these things, however read this book before saying something you regret.

But on the real, Renaissance was not sparked in Europe until the moors came into Europe and brought about it's golden age and the arts to Europe. I would say there is a correlation between contact with their southern neighbors in the dark continent and the explosion of new schools of thought in Europe. Not to turn it into a religious thread, but the history can be traced along the roots of christianity coming into europe from gnostic africans and the molding of it into an economic empirical system. christianity is the movement that united europe against the "savage religions" of the rest of the world.

Parts of Europe remain developing.

UK and most of western europe had limited space and/or resources and as population grew it became more condensed forcing large numbers of people into to what are now know as urban areas or cities. A transition from agrarian societies to industrialization was the result.

Climate was also a factor in that more substantial dwellings were required for survival as well as sufficient clothing. Fabric production was a main catalyst for the industrial revolution.

I'd like to hear your thoughts OP.

Thankyou for posting that book though. Immediate read.

This is a humanity discussion. You had no involvement. 

Couldn't his comment be construed as a nod to the fact that we are all one people, and when one nation is set back, we all are?

I believe that art was before religion. We're talking caveman writing on the walls as a form of communication and documentation.
