title: The rise of the creative class, revisited
abstract: Ten years after its first publication, the theory of the Creative Class is more relevant than ever. Now for the first time, this original book is revised and updated for a new generation. First published in 2002, "The Rise of the Creative Class" weaved storytelling with reams of cutting edge research to trace the fundamental theme that runs through a host of seemingly unrelated changes in society: the growing role of creativity in our economy. The idea started a fire. Ten years later, any serious conversation about the creativity, geography, and economic growth must integrate the concept of the Creative Class. Our values and tastes, our personal relationships, our choices of where to live, and even our sense and use of time are changing. Leading this transformation are the millions of people who create for a living. This Creative Class is found in a variety of fields, from engineering to theatre, biotech to education, architecture to small business. Their choices have already had a huge economic impact. In the future, they will determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither. Now completely revised and updated, "The Rise of the Creative Class Revisited" takes a deeper look at the forces reshaping our economy and provides a provocative new way to think about why we live as we do today and where we might be heading.

title: Richard Florida: The Rise of the Creative Class
abstract: Beschaftigt man sich als StadtsoziologIn mit der Frage, was Stadte zu Orten des Neuen, der Kreativitat und Innovation macht und welchen Zusammenhang es zwischen kreativen Prozessen und dem stadtischen Raum gibt, dann kommt man nicht umhin, den amerikanischen Wirtschaftsgeograph Richard Florida und seine 2002 erschienene Publikation The Rise of the Creative Class zu erwahnen. Florida gilt als der zentrale Broker und Transferagent fur die Idee einer Stadtentwicklung durch Kreativitat, der nicht mude wurde, seine Ideen weltweit auf Konferenzen und vor stadtischen Vertretern vorzutragen. Zugleich gab es in der letzten zehn Jahren keinen Stadtforscher der wissenschaftlich so polarisiert hat, wie Florida mit seiner These der Kreativen Klasse, die er erstmalig in seinen Aufsatzen Bohemia and Economic Geography (2002a) sowie The Economic Geography of Talent (2002b) und schlieslich in seinem Buch The Rise of the Creative Class im Jahr 2002 publiziert hat.

title: The Rise of the Creative Class: Revisited
abstract: The Rise of the Creative Class: Revisited, first published in 2002, is now in its second edition. The very first aspect of the book that attracts the attention of the reader is the title itself, which alludes to the role of creativity in the economy and society. Indeed, when the book was first published, it became a bestseller and took the world of urban studies, particularly in advanced countries, by storm. Although technically a novel construct, Richard Florida's concept of creativity and creative capital was criticized by several scholars, including the Harvardurban economist, Edward Glaeser, as being not very different from the already established concept of human capital (Glaeser 2004) Human capital is based on the level of skills possessed by an individual, as a result of formal education. Creativity, like human capital, gives rise to new ideas that can spur technological and economic innovation which, in turn, can lead to economic growth. In the second edition of the book, Florida addresses these criticisms and redefines the 'creativeclass' as a socioeconomic group whose distinguishing characteristic is the ability of its members to engage in such work whose function is to 'create meaningful new forms' This ability, Florida claims, by citing the examples of entrepreneurial giants like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, is regardless of the educational qualifications of its members and hence is fundamentally different from human capital.
