在地球仪的各个城市，越来越多的证据表明，所谓的“创意阶层”成员越来越多地参与城市社会运动，捍卫特定的城市空间，影响城市发展。本文讨论了这种发展的意义，参考的假设大卫哈维在资本的空间，在一个时代的文化和“创造力”在当代资本主义城市化进程的批发工具化的反对运动的文化生产者越来越多的动员。在简要回顾了最近关于城市社会运动转型的学术贡献，以及哈维关于文化生产者在建设“空间”的动员中的潜在作用的假设之后，本文描述了近年来在柏林和汉堡发生的两起具体的城市抗议活动：在Media Spree地区争夺柏林海滨的斗争，以及冲突集中在汉堡的Gangeviertel。在这两次抗议活动中，艺术家、文化生产者和创造性环境都发挥了突出作用。本文分析了抗议活动背后的联盟的组成、议程、贡献和矛盾，讨论了这些运动是否代表了具有广泛城市变革议程的新型联盟的种子。文章最后对艺术家、文化生产者和“创意阶层”在地球仪城市社会运动中的作用提出了未来的研究议程。
In cities across the globe there is mounting evidence of growing mobilization by members of the so-called ‘creative class’ in urban social movements, defending particular urban spaces and influencing urban development. This essay discusses the meaning of such developments with reference to the hypothesis made by David Harvey in Spaces of Capital about the increasing mobilization of cultural producers in oppositional movements in an era of wholesale instrumentalization of culture and ‘creativity’ in contemporary processes of capitalist urbanization. After briefly reviewing recent scholarly contributions on the transformations of urban social movements, as well as Harvey's hypothesis about the potential role of cultural producers in mobilizations for the construction of ‘spaces of hope’, the essay describes two specific urban protests that have occurred in Berlin and Hamburg in recent years: the fight for Berlin's waterfront in the Media Spree area, and the conflict centred on the Gangeviertel in Hamburg. In both protests artists, cultural producers and creative milieux have played a prominent role. The essay analyses the composition, agenda, contribution and contradictions of the coalitions behind the protests, discussing whether such movements represent the seeds of new types of coalitions with a wide-ranging agenda for urban change. The essay finally proposes a future research agenda on the role of artists, cultural producers and the ‘creative class’ in urban social movements across the globe.
