In search of creative milieu: creative peoples workplaces and residences in Göteborg

• Building on previous research concerning the location preferences of highly- educated and creative people this paper revolves around perceptions of creative milieu and explores residential careers. The aim of the study is to find out whether the creative milieu has exercised any significant influence, to ask what constitutes a creative milieu and if the responses given fit the description by most notably Florida (2004) and Jacobs (1992). 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.
