17 Apr Cultura, Conocimiento, Gestión e Innovación: Las Clases Creativas en la Euskal Hiria > Ekonomiaz, Revista Vasca de Economía, Euskonews y Congreso de Eusko Ikaskuntza
This article was written in 2005 and aimed to apply to the so-called "Creative Class" concept suggested by Richard Florida to the Basque Regional Government's Culture Strategic Planning. Generally speaking, when we refer to a new setting of the cultural planning, it seems that modern and traditional culture clash. The authors highlight the dynamic and complex nature of the Strategic Territorial Planning arguing that Communities and Entrepreneurship should be taken into account for this macro strategic design. The article was published in 2005 in the Revista Vasca de Economía del Gobierno Vasco, Ekonomiaz and in Euskonews and was presented also as a paper with the same title in the Congress of the Basque Studies Society. --- Part I Part II
