St. John’s city-region: A metropolis on the margins? What about smaller “urban” centres in NL?!

St. John’s city-region: A metropolis on the margins? Continued relevance of staples economy Relevance of ‘creative class’ theory?

NL city-regions: Metropolis? Margins ? Source: Government of Newfoundland & Labrador Regional Demographic Profiles, Newfoundland and Labrador, p. 3.

St. John’s city-region: Preliminary findings – Dr. Josh Lepawsky (Theme 2 lead)  Importance of social networks  Loyalty to place, but perception of greater economic opportunities / creative ‘buzz’ elsewhere  Lack of perceived link(s) between St. John’s city-region and professional creativity  Social divides between ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ (“CFA”)  Resource-based economy “requires” certain knowledge workers  City region size and role, relative to other places, matters
