Does gentrification, led by the creative class, follow a pattern? Comparing the development of Manhattan and Brooklyn with Hackney: what is the future for Hackney?
Abstract: The dissertation examines the processes through which creative artists (referred to here collectively as the "creative class") play a pioneering or key role in urban gentrification. It reviews some of the UK (especially London) literature and some of the literature from the USA (especially New York) and also makes strong use of case study material from both cities. These case studies are based on close personal observation, interviews with some of those involved and reading of research and journalistic sources. Essentially, the key purpose of this dissertation is to give the reader a better understanding that the activities and movement performed by the creative class are linked to the built environment.
