| Book Description | This book challenges the new urban growth concepts of the creative class and creative industries from a critical urban theory perspective. * Critiques Richard Florida's popular books about cities and the creative class * Presents an alternative approach based on analyses of empirical research data concerning the German urban system and the case study regions, Hanover and Berlin * Underscores that the culture industry takes a leading role in conforming with neoliberal conceptions of labor markets |
| Editorial Review | On the whole, The Creative Capital of Cities makes a valuable contribution to the urban economic literature. It provides a critical and quite comprehensive overview of a number of issues that have so far been left too much aside in the current debate. (J Hous and the Built Environ, 8 September 2012) |
