Abstract:

Florida’s ‘creative class’ terminology emphasises the desirability of policy to drive better life-work balance, providing personalised housing and vibrant neighbourhood amenities. Interest in these themes is to be found so far in the urban economics and sociology literature. Little however is known about the demand-supply interactions emanating from property market dynamics. This paper explores the mixed-use housing and the locations of housing provision in two key contrasting development initiatives - Paintworks, Bristol and Baltic, Liverpool. Findings from interviews and field observations revealed that a ‘business as usual’ attitude dominates the development sector. Regulatory controls, risk aversion, inert housing consumption preferences, and short-term speculation, all played their part in deferring the emergence of innovative housing products in the UK. In conclusion the paper emphasises the continuing need to understand the connection between housing and economic development, including specifically creativity and innovation.
