“…This, in turn, would comport with development economics research that has noted how variety in entrepreneurship (not solely startups in high-technology sectors or high-growth mode of operating) can signal to policy makers what the declining city is and is not particularly good at producing (Hessels & Naudé, 2019). In any case, policy makers in declining cities are likely disserved by clinging to a narrow view of what entrepreneurship should be like, for as Bobadilla, Goransson, and Pichault (2019) put it, "the life and death issue for the future of older industrial cities is to find new ways of development" (p. 378).…”

This article presents conceptual research questions and propositions on the relationship between the artisan entrepreneur's oppositional identity and entrepreneurially venturing in the context of declining cities and urbanized regions. In general, I propose that some features of declining cities typically deemed harmful to business (e.g., deindustrialization, population loss, stifled innovation) may be less problematic for artisan ventures operated with a strong devotion to craft, localness and sense of place, and independence and less emphasis on financial performance than is typical of more mainstream entrepreneurship. The conceptual development herein relies on identity theory (including occupational identity and counter-institutional identity concepts), embeddedness theory, and urban economics concepts. This effort addresses calls for more research on both artisan entrepreneurship and the declining city as a context of entrepreneurship.

Understanding the impact and value of temporary public art sculpture trails

Temporary public art sculpture trails (T-Pasts) have been used for over 20 years around the world to fulfil a number of objectives. They can help to generate revenue for host towns and cities; they can contribute to place branding; they can provide entertainment for residents and visitors; and they can raise funds for designated charitable causes. They typically feature object characters that have a relevance for the host place and they invariably utilise the same operational model. They receive significant local publicity and various claims are made concerning their economic, social and aesthetic impact. But there is a case to be made that they are ‘hidden in plain sight’ as some people will walk or drive past exhibits without ever seeing them. In this article, we track the history of T-Pasts, categorise them into different types, examine their value for different stakeholders, discuss their various impacts and offer a conceptual impact model. We conclude the article with a discussion that contextualises T-Pasts in relevant themes, including place enabling and place building, and also the significance of the temporary element.

“…Most of these studies are in the field of urban design (Costa and Lopes, 2015; Durmaz Drinkwater and Platt, 2016; Hanan and Hemanto, 2020; Kiroff, 2019; Wood and Dovey, 2015). A small body of literature has considered the subtle enhancements, made through arts-based interventions and creative practices, that contribute to meaning-making processes in places (Alexandrescu et al , 2020; Basaraba, 2021; Bobadilla et al , 2019; Platt, 2019; Sepe, 2018; Waitt and Gibson, 2009; Whybrow, 2016). These studies have seen places from the standpoint of how places are experienced, how the sense of place and place identity is created.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and clarify the relationship between creative developments and the concepts of place and placemaking. Design/methodology/approach This paper systematically reviews scholarly literature on the relationship between creative developments and the concepts of place, and critically analyzes the extent to which creative developments acknowledge different aspects of place. Findings The findings demonstrate that the relationship between creative development and place is multifaceted, and combines physical, cultural and social aspects of place. However, the literature also calls for the greater valuation of particular facets of place, including the daily experiences of communities and local cultural producers, alongside symbolic and imagined aspects of place, all of which inform either positive or negative perceptions of urban form. In addition, the authors argue that the cultural value of the creative industries needs to be better acknowledged in creative developments, implying support for a range of cultural practitioners. Research limitations/implications The authors argue that embracing a more holistic understanding of place in creative development has the potential to minimize the negative impacts sometimes associated with such developments (like gentrification and social displacement) while generating greater social and cultural benefits to people and place. The study findings raise questions that frame a critical research agenda for creative-led developments and creative placemaking in this context. Originality/value By examining the broader relationship between creative developments and place and identifying areas neglected by researchers, this research contributes to an articulation of “creative placemaking” that moves creative city policy toward enhancing community development.
