- Description
Over the last decades there has been a profusion of studies that put their emphasis on the importance of the so-called creative economy on economic growth and regional development. In the case of Europe, has been highlighted the potential of cultural and creative economy to become the new engine of the economy after the slowdown experienced by financial services during the economic crisis of 2008 (Pratt, 2009:495). This topic has been the subject of attention even supranational organizations such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the European Union or the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Thus, there has been widespread the interest in introducing this concept into the political agendas of many cities, resulting in new competitive dynamics between those seeking to become creative cities (Mart?-Costa y Pradell, 2012:93). However, despite the strong development of the concept of creative economy and its broad impact in political and academic circles, the literature on the creative economy, creative classes and creative cities has been criticized both for its conceptual definition and character asepticsuch as for responding to interests of certain economic groups or hide phenomena of urban segregation.
Este art?culo analiza de manera cr?tica los conceptos de econom?a creativa y clase creativa a trav?s de una revisi?n de la literatura internacional. De esta forma se ponen de maniiesto las lagunas te?ricas y conceptuales de los enfoques dominantes al respecto. A continuaci?n propone algunas ideas para interpretar el papel de la creatividad en la econom?a de las ciudades desde una perspectiva m?s compleja, y lleva a cabo una aproximaci?n al caso de la ciudad de Madrid. En ella se pone de maniiesto tanto la debilidad de las perspectivas dominantes como la necesidad de llevar a cabo estudios m?s complejos, que abarquen manifestaciones m?s plurales de la econom?a creativa, para lo que resulta m?s eiciente una metodolog?a que combina el an?lisis estad?stico con el trabajo sobre el terreno.
