Guest Editorial: Introduction to the Creative Class in European City Regions

Bjørn Asheim

Economic Geography, 2009, vol. 85, issue 4, 355-362

Abstract: This special issue presents the results of a European research project on the creative class in European city regions. In this introduction, the need for contextualizing the approach is underlined, taking into account the differences between the United States, where Richard Florida's ideas were developed, and Europe. In modifying the approach to suit European conditions, varieties of capitalism and social capital perspectives were applied.
