Wonk Alert! Great Read on Urban Cultural Policy
My comrade-in-arms Paul Nagle has just published a paper on the economics of live/work space for artists in cities. Room for Creativity: The Role of Affordable Artists’ Live/Work Space in the New Economy is a short and accessible version of his much longer and denser thesis on the same subject. If you’re interested in this stuff (and you should be if you care about the future of the arts in this country) then I highly recommend you check it out.
You can get an electronic version for $5 or a print version for $10.
