The so-called 'creative industries' are increasingly being
presented as an important tool of urban regeneration and economic
development. Until now, research on the clustering of such
activities has been limited to economics, geography and urban
policy. This book is the first to gather together emerging research
in urban design and spatial planning that explores what
characteristics of the built form of cities support the distinctive
activity patterns of various creative industries, and how and why
they cluster together at a range of local scales. The book offers
detailed case studies and comparative analyses of creative city
neighbourhoods on five continents. Contributions examine urban
forms, building types, and other qualities of place that attract
and retain creative workers and foster creative production,
outlining a range of methodologies for studying them. Taken
altogether, Creative Milieux offers new insights for urban design
practice, and for its role in wider urban policy. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Urban
Design.
