Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide basic stylized facts about the spatial patterns of location and co†location of clusters of creative industries in Europe. The research proposes a novel methodology for detailing the spatial delimitation of clusters, based on a geo†statistical algorithm and firm†based micro†data. The procedure is applied to a continuous space of 16 European countries and 15 creative industries in 2009. The investigation reveals that creative firms are highly clustered, and that clusters are concentrated in a ‘creative belt’ stretching from the South of England to the South†east of Germany. These clusters are predominantly metropolitan, heterogeneous, cross borders, and may co†locate to form assemblages.
