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
"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)
