3.2c Does proximity of a creative cluster to other creative clusters support economic activity and growth in those proximate areas, and if so how?
Background
The Creative Industries are an interconnected ecosystem of businesses and freelancers. The creative industries value chain contains multiple activities, for example from designers, video production, music and performing artists across the UK. Much of this activity takes place in creative clusters. Clusters have been successful in boosting regional economic growth and creating high-quality jobs. Understanding the dynamics of this success, and how clusters can offer more inclusive growth are important areas for future work.
