Abstract
The emergence of creative and cultural industries has attracted much attention in urban research on cities in Western Europe and North America. By contrast, little knowledge can be found on the status of creative workers in Central and Eastern Europe. The debate in Western Europe considers creativity and knowledge as central factors in enhancing the competitiveness of the urban economic base. Creative and knowledge-based industries are also gaining increasing importance in posttransition cities in Central and Eastern Europe.
