Document Summary
Lecture 11 - geog 101 | nancy worth. Shift from secondary economic activities towards tertiary and quaternary sectors - the knowledge based economy becomes the creative economy. Creative class: workers who add value to goods and services through their creativity, creative jobs are within the "no collar workplace, anyone can be apart of it. Geography of creative cities: the creative class is not evenly distributed, uneven development as creative cities are more successful. Quality of place/ tolerance: presence of local amenities, including a vibrant music scene, art galleries, authentic neighbourhoods, outdoor spaces, historic architecture, and cafes. Industries are changing, less factory work and more office work: places with tolerance are attractive to the creative class, tolerance: open and accepting to new ideas. Inequality in the conceptual spaces of the city: assumption of unparalleled mobility for workers yet, state boarder and immigrant controls function to adjudicate entry into the nation-state, and they often do so along racialized lines.
