Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Building on previous research concerning the location preferences of highly-educated and creative people this paper revolves around creative milieu and explores residential preferences. The aim of the study is to find out whether the creative milieu has exercised any significant influence over time but also to ask what constitutes a creative milieu and if the responses given fit the description by most notably Florida (2004) and Jacobs (1992). Respondents in this study correlates to the super-creative core (Florida 2004) by occupation. Results show that the creative milieu tended to be very differently perceived depending on most of all the nature of the respondents work. Despite diverging answers, human interaction was still considered a basic prerequisite. The findings question whether the super-creative core and the overarching creative class can be argued unanimous regarding choice of residence in a Swedish welfare society.
