Reasons for Clustering of Creative Industries in Italy and Spain

The location of creative industries in a developing country: The case of Indonesia

“…This will challenge the current government's perspective that leads to implementing the same strategies for both creative and traditional cultural industries (Fahmi et al, 2015). This paper complements the existing publications on the regional locational patterns of creative industries, which are mostly descriptive (e.g., Boix, Lazzeretti, Capone, De Propris, & Sánchez, 2013;Power, 2002;Pratt, 2004) but much less focussed on explaining factors that determine the pattern (e.g., Lazzeretti, Capone, & Boix, 2012). In order to achieve the aim of this paper, we identify the characteristics of regions where these industries are clustered, and reflect these findings on the current conceptual and empirical contributions on this issue.…”

Creativity and local economic development: The role of synergy among different talents

“…A third perspective on the definition of creativity focusses on the outcome (product) of creativity that, in this sense, can be seen as a competitive advantage (not only for firms but especially for local systems) associated to culture and territory (see Lazzeretti ; Lazzeretti et al ). Moreover, many definitions are based on the concept of novelty (invention) as the outcome of creativity (see, among others, Howkins ).…”

Creative Industries from an Evolutionary Perspective: A Critical Literature Review

“…However, the tendency to concentrate differs from sector to sector (European Commission ). The externalities increase the potential of the places where creative industries are located (Turok ; De Propris et al ; Mossig ; Scott ; Lazzeretti et al ; European Commission , 27). With high concentrations, these places can be regarded as “creative cities” with specific characteristics – such as cultural amenities of the city or a tolerant social atmosphere – that attracts the “creative class” (people in creative professions) (Florida ; Clifton ).…”

“…The results of her studies showed that related variety encourages the clustering of creative industries due to cross‐fertilization, new combination, and geographical proximities. In the same vein, related variety is considered to increase innovation in local systems thanks to spillover processes of innovation in other sectors (Lazzeretti et al ). She also concluded that certain creative industries (Advertising, Designer Fashion and Software, Computer Games, and Electronic Publishing) show a significant trend to co‐locate with a variety of other creative industry sectors (see also De Propris et al ; Currid and Williams ; Wenting ).…”
