Creative industries have become fundamental in signalling the
economic wellbeing of cities and urban regions. Workers who are
attracted to the sector tend to have strong preferences when it
comes to the neighbourhoods they want to live in, with factors such
as job availability and urban amenities playing a large part in
their decision. Skills and Cities analyses these factors and looks
at the implications for urban and regional policy across a range of
European cities. Drawing conclusions from the Netherlands and
Scandinavian cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, this book sheds new
light on the debate about the importance of jobs and urban
amenities for attracting high-skilled employees. This edited
collection brings together international literature and individual
residential experiences from different cities, presenting policy
simulations and highlighting the differences between urban and
suburban groups. Subsequent chapters discuss the location
preference and settlement process of international migrants and
students in an attempt to understand what it is that attracts
highly-skilled workers to a particular area. This book concludes by
expertly drawing together the key issues surrounding the
residential behaviour of highly educated workers and students. This
collection will be of interest to researchers and policy makers in
urban planning, as well as Postgraduate students researching
housing preferences.
