Cultural and Creative Ecosystems in Medium-Sized Cities: Evolution in Times of Economic Crisis and Pandemic

Abstract: This article seeks to forecast the short- and medium-term impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on the cultural and creative ecosystems of the 81 cities in Spain with between 50,000 and 100,000 inhabitants. Data on employment in nine sectors (per NACE Rev. 2) support the characterization of cultural ecosystems based on their dynamism, specialization, and propensity to form clusters (thanks to the co-location of certain sectors, meant to generate inter-sectoral spillovers and cross-sector synergies). The applied … Show more

“…Thus, our results are in line with existing research that shows the importance of face-to-face interactions for spurring new research projects [18][19][20]33] as well as the negative impacts of crises on an individual's creativity [34]. Notably, many of these factors, including the lack of in-person interactions and the stress and anxiety induced by the pandemic, are not unique to the scientific workforce, suggesting that the patterns we observe here may also apply to other creative professions [35,36].…”

“…Finally, the COVID-19 pandemic has opened within tourism studies a framework for reflection on the resilience of urban destinations in the face of crisis; the literature analyzing the impact of the pandemic on tourism and cultural activity is already large and varied [79][80][81][82]. On the other hand, in regard to the urban destinations where industrial heritage might play a role in the deconcentration of historic centers (such as those analyzed here), no specific bibliography has been detected, suggesting the possibility that future studies could be developed on this topic.…”

“…Regrettably, contact proved impossible with a significant number of companies appearing in these directories, whether due to insufficient data or because they had vanished (given the small business size and high mortality common to the sector). Undoubtedly, problems experienced by such companies in medium and small Spanish cities thanks to the pandemic and consequent restrictions on cultural activities, whether for reasons of suspended activity or outright closure, have further frustrated the collection of a larger sample (Escalona-Orcao et al, 2021).…”
