We invite you to join us in a workshop with Alan Davies, Christy Collis, Emma Felton, Simon Freebody, Richard Brecknock and Marcus Foth, chaired by Terry Flew.
In the academic and policy literature that focuses on the rise of the creative economy, there is much attention given to inner cities as unique incubators of creativity, talent and “buzz”. Yet it is the case that, at least in Australia’s largest cities, the majority of the population live and work in suburbs, and suburbanisation has been growing in recent years with planning for urban growth corridors and master planned communities. This seminar will consider the evidence surrounding the geographical location of both creative industries and creative workforce, and what implications it presents for urban planning, creative industries research and arts and cultural policy.
