Virtually every city-region in West and Central Europe has
developed policies and strategies to attract, retain and encourage
creative industries and knowledge-intensive services. Since most of
these citiy-regions tend to see a creative knowledge economy as
'the best bet for the future', one of the main goals of such
policies and strategies is increasing the international
competitiveness of their city-region. Using the cities of
Amsterdam, Barcelona, Birmingham, Helsinki, Leipzig, Manchester,
and Munich as case studies, this book explores the spatial,
economic, historical, socio-demographic, socio-cultural and
political conditions that may determine whether a city-region is or
can become attractive for creative and knowledge-intensive
companies, and for the talented people working for or founding
these companies. A comparison of the case studies and an overview
of the key findings, similarities and differences which lead to
policy recommendations as well as suggested directions for further
research will make this book attractive to urban and regional
academics, planners and students.
