Abstract
Richard Florida’s book, The Rise of the Creative Class: And how it’s Transforming Work, Leisure,
Community, and Everyday Life has stimulated considerable interest from economic developers, city
managers, and academics. A brief sampling of literature on creativity is presented for comparison
to the literature on the creative class in a region, their effect on regional growth, and strategies to
increase their presence in a region. The authors suggest opportunities for future research to serve
as examples of how the two strains of extant literature, taken together, can stimulate new research
ideas.
