Authors:
- Clarifies, builds on and amends Richard Florida’s comment that bohemian artists have become part of a larger creative class
- Defines a new heuristic type, the artistic creative class enclave, and presents an elaborate typological analysis of the similarities and differences between artistic creative class enclaves and other types of artistic enclaves
- Discusses the benefits and limitations of artistic creative class enclaves for communities, cities, and postindustrial society
- Demonstrates that Lawrenceville’s artistic creative class enclave, unlike the relatively bohemian enclaves described in previous studies, and the artistic enclaves briefly described by Florida, has achieved long-term sustainability within its postindustrial urban context
- Makes policy suggestions designed to help those who wish to promote sustainable artistic enclaves
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
