Creative Suburbia: A Critical Evaluation of the Scope for Creative Cultural Development in Australia's Suburban and Peri Urban Communities

在全球知识经济中，创意产业企业对澳大利亚越来越重要。它们占国民收入的5.5%，最近的研究表明，它们比最初估计的要大50%。但许多研究和政策假设这些企业只发生在城市内部环境中。 本项目将研究布里斯班和墨尔本远郊创意企业员工的工作模式，调查这些企业如何在市中心以外地区工作。这些工作将使人们能够更加基于经验地了解创意企业的动态，从而更好地实现这些活动的创意和经济潜力。

Creative industries enterprises ­are increasingly important to Australia in a global knowledge-based economy. They account for 5.5% of national income, and recent work has shown they are 50% bigger than first estimated. But much research and policy assumes that these enterprises only take place in inner urban environments. This project will examine the work patterns of creative enterprise workers in the outer suburbs of Brisbane and Melbourne, investigating how these enterprises work outside of inner city zones. Such work will enable a more empirically grounded understanding of creative enterprise dynamics, so that the creative and economic potential of these activities are better realised.
