Inventive City-Regions: Path Dependence and Creative Knowledge Strategies

Virtually every city and region in West and Central Europe has developed policies and strategies to attract, retain and encourage creative industries and knowledge-intensive services. 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. Using seven European cities as case studies, the book highlights similarities and differences, and makes policy recommendations.
