Description
Extract from the Introduction by Kevin Stolarick, Brian J. Hracs and Richard Florida :
The papers in this issue share a desire to move beyond the monolithic understanding of the creative city. Each contributes new empirical evidence that nuances the specificity of cities, cultures and societies/communities. Moreover, by using different disciplinary starting points and methods of enquiry to investigate different cases, locations, and scales, the papers in this special issue provide diffrerent pieces of the same puzzle.
Drawing on approaches from Sociology, Urban Planning, and Economic Geography each paper uses one or more specific cases as the grounding framework for a bigger and broader discussion. These range from looking at specific occupations and/or industries to various neighbourhood and regional development projects ranging from the micro to the mega. Discussions encompassing both formal and informal approaches and even a little 'guerrilla' public art are presented. More specifically, the cases are based on research in San Francisco, Berlin, Totonto, New York City, Los Angeles, Omaha, Montreal, and Vancouver.
