This document discusses Amsterdam as an attractive location for creative and knowledge industries. It summarizes that Amsterdam has a long history as a center of creativity and knowledge. However, it notes that the region faces challenges around high real estate prices, congestion, and uncertainty in key industries. The document also finds that "creative knowledge workers" and companies are diverse and priorities vary between sectors and company sizes. It recommends that policies support this diversity and consider both "soft factors" like culture and "hard factors" like infrastructure and business costs.
This document discusses ways for Europe to reinvent itself through innovation by addressing new challenges and adopting new approaches. It argues that Europe needs to broaden its concept of innovation, invest in future infrastructure, use innovative financing models, and create new spaces for collaboration. Young innovative firms are seen as vital for growth and job creation. The document advocates combining digital and social agendas, using public procurement to boost innovation, and mobilizing private savings for social solutions through impact funds and social bonds. It also suggests learning from global examples of open innovation and bringing diverse groups together for collective impact.
The document discusses different approaches to developing policies that promote creativity and knowledge in cities, using Munich as a case study. It outlines both an employees-oriented approach that focuses on the needs of creative knowledge workers through surveys, as well as an institutional approach that improves collaboration between organizations. Effective policies require considering both firms and individuals, with a focus on affordable housing, transportation, childcare, and providing flexible workspaces for creative workers. While creativity cannot be fully planned, indirect policy approaches that improve frameworks are important for governance.
The document discusses the ACRE project which aims to learn about conditions important for creative and knowledge industries in European cities. It focuses on what factors influence the development of these industries, including hard infrastructure, soft livability factors, and personal networks. Survey results from cities show networks and employment opportunities are most important for attracting skilled workers. The document concludes cities differ in their contexts and a multifaceted approach considering pathways, conditions and networks is needed for policies around these industries.
The document summarizes key points from the ACRE (Accommodating Creative knowledge) project, which studied conditions for the development of creative and knowledge industries in 13 European urban regions. It found that while some regions had theoretical structural advantages, their actual employment and GDP metrics varied, likely due to differences in current hard conditions like infrastructure, labor pools and institutions, as well as soft conditions like attractiveness, diversity and tolerance. Surveys of employees and migrants in these regions showed that "network factors" like family/friends were most important in location decisions, followed by hard and soft conditions, with no clear East-West divide and the importance of policies in development paths.

The document discusses the need to establish an Economic Development Board Amsterdam (EDBA) to promote innovation and economic growth in the Amsterdam metropolitan region. It notes that the region has strengths like universities, companies, and an international city brand, but lacks strategic cooperation between sectors. The EDBA would bring together industry, government, and academia to focus on seven key clusters like finance, life sciences, and ICT. It would create initiatives and projects to boost talent, entrepreneurship, and commercialization of research through a dense "humus infrastructure" of connections. The goal is for Amsterdam to become a top-5 leading European city for knowledge, innovation, sustainability and economic attractiveness by 2020.

The document discusses Barcelona's reinvention of itself through creativity, knowledge, and urban regeneration. It outlines how Barcelona transitioned from a heavily industrial economy to focusing on creative and knowledge sectors. It describes Barcelona's strategic planning efforts like developing cultural pathways, internationalization, and the 22@ project to create an innovative business and technology district. Key enablers of Barcelona's success included political stability, strategic long-term visioning, and investing in infrastructure and quality of life, while challenges included fully transitioning its economy and attracting more investment in R&D.
The document summarizes the emergence of Helsinki as an international hub for knowledge industries. Key factors included early investments in education and telecommunications in the late 19th century that created competitive advantages. Long-standing national traditions of social networking and consensus-building also supported collaboration between universities, businesses and government on innovation strategies. While national policies boosted education and R&D funding, local city-regional policies still require more coordination to maximize economic interaction across the region. The structural legacy of Finland's history and traditions have combined with modern knowledge economy strengths to propel Helsinki onto the global innovation stage.
The document is a programme for a conference on creative knowledge cities held in Amsterdam on May 27th 2009. It includes an opening by the alderwoman of art, culture and media of Amsterdam, an introduction of the ACRE project by Sako Musterd of the University of Amsterdam, and several presentations on topics related to creative industries and urban regeneration in cities. There will also be a keynote speaker, panel discussion, and tour of a creative building in Amsterdam before the conference ends at 6:30pm.
Prior to 1990 in post-socialist cities, the economy was dominated by industry and isolated internationally, society was homogenized with state control of housing and labor, land use mixed urban functions with no clear CBD, and planning and politics involved strong central control and no local self-governance. After 1990, cities saw deindustrialization and globalization, societal polarization and new forms of segregation, specialized land use and fragmented cities, local rather than central planning control, urban sprawl, and a shift of power to the local level. The document examines conditions, pathways, and challenges of urban development and creative/knowledge industries in post-socialist cities.
