本文关注的是在关于“创意城市”的争论中被忽视的一个问题，即所谓的创意阶层的迁移动力。Richard佛罗里达关于“创造性阶层”对城市发展的重要性的研究继续影响着世界各地的城市决策者，尽管缺乏实证证据来支持关于那些显然从事“创造性”职业的人的移徙动态的主要假设。本文评估的有用性，采用的方法，分析一个“创造性”的职业，艺术家的迁移动力。我们考虑的移民经验的一组艺术家谁搬到了瑞典的斯德哥尔摩，探索他们的流动性和他们的动机移动，影响他们选择的位置的因素，以及他们的职业动态对他们的流动性的影响。该分析通过考虑生命周期效应对其流动性的影响及其对专业网络的依赖，推进了早期关于创造性移徙的研究，并质疑所谓的开放性和宽容之间的联系，因为“创造性”职业的进入门槛较低。
This article focuses on a neglected issue in debates about the “creative city,” the migration dynamics of the so-called creative class. The work of Richard Florida on the importance of the “creative class” for urban development continues to influence urban policymakers worldwide, despite the lack of empirical evidence supporting the key assumptions made about the migration dynamics of those in apparently “creative” occupations. This article evaluates the usefulness of adopting the approach of analyzing the migration dynamics of one “creative” occupation, artists. We consider the migration experiences of a group of artists who have moved to Stockholm, Sweden, exploring their mobility and their motivations for moving, the factors influencing their choice of location, and the influence of their occupational dynamics on their mobility. The analysis advances earlier studies of creative migration by considering the impact on their mobility of life-cycle effects and their reliance on professional networks and queries the purported link between openness and tolerance in cities with low entry barriers for those in “creative” occupations.
