Accommodating creative knowledge First results from the ACRE project Marco Bontje AMIDSt University of Amsterdam

Introducing the ACRE project EU 6 th Framework, Priority 7 ‘Citizens and governance in a knowledge-based society’ 4 years, started October 2006 Central themes: creative knowledge economy, city-regional competitiveness 13 partners in 13 European city-regions Methods: literature review, secondary data analysis, surveys, interviews, analysis policy discourse More details on

The 13 ACRE case studies Amsterdam Barcelona Birmingham Helsinki Leipzig Munich Milan Poznan Dublin Toulouse Sofia RigaBudapest

What is ‘creative knowledge’? Creative industries: definition UK- Department Culture, Media, Sports ICT manufacturing and services (OECD) Finance, insurance, pension funding Law and other business services R&D and higher education

WP2: Development path and current state of case study regions Historic roots of current economic, social, political profile (path dependence) Recent economic, social, political trends Current state of the creative knowledge economy Recent policies to improve competitiveness (especially as creative knowledge city/region) Challenges and opportunities

Typology: 6 main factors Role as a political and/or economic decision- making centre Size of city-region and central city Geopolitical position in Europe before and after fall of Iron Curtain Historical-cultural heritage Industrial profile / heritage Restructuring / competitiveness policy after 1990 In addition: region-specific benefits or constraints (real estate, costs of living, population dynamics etc)

Role as a political and/or economic decision-making centre at national and international levels Early acquired and stable status as a political or economic decision-making centre (Amsterdam, Munich, Budapest) Late acquired and/or unstable status (Barcelona, Dublin, Helsinki, Sofia, Riga) Decision-making status not pronounced (Birmingham, Leipzig, Poznan, Toulouse)

Historical-cultural heritage A city has been historically known as a centre of culture and/or science (Amsterdam in 17 th century, Munich in 19 th century) Presence of an attractive old city centre Positive or negative image of a city (‘fun city’, artistic centre, tolerant city, city of crime, polarised city, industrial place, harbour city etc.) Influence of crucial persons, revolutionary events, and/or sheer coincidence

Industrial profile / heritage Dominance of (declining?) heavy industry and/or seaport activities, labour-intensive (Barcelona, Leipzig, Poznan, Birmingham) Innovative ‘lighter’ industries: engineering, high- tech, R&D- and knowledge-intensive (Munich) Weaker industrialisation (Amsterdam) Multifunctional vs specialised industrial regions

Restructuring / competitiveness policies (1) General items: waterfront (re)development, landmarks, clusters, science parks, centres of excellence, networking, PPPs… Most wanted branches: creative industries, ICT, biotech, life sciences, finance Growing importance of rankings (justified?) Central/Eastern Europe: which city/region will truly become the gateway that all are after? Looking for ‘best practices’ (necessary? useful?)

Restructuring / competitiveness policies (2) Barcelona: assertive city government, comprehensive competitiveness programme (but: real story behind the glossy brochures and shiny facades?) Helsinki: focus on ICT, technological innovation and education (but: will it be able to attract international talent?) Munich: healthy economy, well maintained city (but: how can it lose its ‘boring’ image?) Amsterdam: late discovery of need for competitiveness policies; will regional co-operation make a decisive difference? And how to restore tolerant image?

Dilemmas of successful creative knowledge regions Difficult choice between economic diversity and specialisation ‘Creative’ or ‘knowledge’ is not special enough (how to be ‘unique’?) Problematic housing markets How to avoid elitist economy? Can creative knowledge region be social as well? Is polarisation a problem and if so, how to tackle it?
