ABSTRACT
Over the last decades, creative cluster development has become a recognized concept for national, regional and local policymakers. Governments have been increasingly investing in initiatives and urban development plans that aim to create or support localized creative and cultural industries. Due to this upsurge in creative cluster development, there is a need to deepen understanding of the concept. This book, with the title Creative Cluster Development: Governance, Place-Making and Entrepreneurship, advances the creative cluster concept as adapted in practice and critically evaluates new theoretical dimensions with regards to existing case studies. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with new theoretical approaches to creative clusters and critically assess how the concept is adopted by policymakers and the public as well as private stakeholders. This book is intended for researchers and policymakers concerned with economic development, cultural and urban studies and creative as well as media industries.
