“…Florida's (2002bFlorida's ( , 2005 theory of creative class provides an explanatory framework for the increasing clustering of the creative cultural and media services in Central Sydney. The creative workers required by the new knowledge-based economy driven by the information technology are urban lifestyle class (Florida, 2002b) and they are globally mobile electronic migrants (Blakely, 2001;Florida, 2005). Sydney's cityscapes -built and natural lifestyle environment, and social tolerance and cultural diversity -are important assets of the city's competitiveness for a creative economy and creative city (Gibson, 2006;Throsby, 2006).…”

“…Scholars note that historic buildings are potential assets (Blakely, 2001; Carr and Servon, 2009; Clark et al, 2002; Mallach and Brachman, 2013; Pastor and Benner, 2008), but preservation is typically marginalised in the legacy cities literature (Ryberg-Webster and Kinahan, 2014). Mallach (2011) and Verderber (2009) discuss conflicts between preservation and demolition, while Mallach and Brachman (2013) anecdotally include preservation as a component of revitalisation.…”

Historic preservation in declining city neighbourhoods: Analysing rehabilitation tax credit investments in six US cities

Historic preservation is common practice across the world, including in US cities. At the same time, population decline, economic distress and vacancy prevalent in declining cities, also known as legacy, shrinking or post-industrial cities, creates a pressing threat to a vast array of urban historic buildings. In the USA, recent planning and policy emphasises strategic demolition and/or targeting resources in potentially viable neighbourhoods, with little attention paid to historic preservation. To fill this gap, we use a comparative case study of federal historic rehabilitation tax credit (RTC) investments from 2000 to 2010 across the neighbourhoods of six legacy cities: Baltimore, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Providence, Richmond and St. Louis. This is the first study to use disaggregated, longitudinal RTC data to analyse investment at the neighbourhood scale. We use the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index to evaluate investment concentration and US Census 2000 data to characterise neighbourhoods where developers chose to undertake RTC projects. The findings show that RTC investments occurred across a wide range of places, including very lowand low-income neighbourhoods, and produced both market-rate and affordable housing across each city's neighbourhoods. The findings indicate that preservation occurs across a wide range of legacy city neighbourhoods and inform urban planners and policymakers about locations where the private sector is willing to invest with favourable financing.

“…Famous industry clusters developed in the United States include North Carolina’s Research Triangle, Hartford, Connecticut’s insurance and finance markets, Hollywood’s film industry, Central and South Florida’s tourism industry, and technology development in Silicon Valley, California, and along Route 128 in Massachusetts. Blakely (2001) explains that these regional‐based clusters have used regional resources to support the growth of specified industrial clusters of related firms and that the firms in these clusters have emphasized both competition and cooperation activities to support the improvement and innovation of their products and services.…”

Globalization stimulates local governments in China and the United States to step up their economic development efforts. What strategies are successful and why? Does industry cluster development lead to higher per capita income? What government infrastructure and incentives stimulate and nurture businesses? This article examines local economic development in China and the United States, comparing strategies and outlining challenging issues. Kuotsai Tom Liou of the University of Central Florida finds that local governments must play the leading role in sustainable development, as a partnership approach promotes collaboration among communities, industries, and other government entities. Policy implications and theoretical issues aimed to promote further comparative studies are presented.
