Abstract

This thesis investigates how artists of the Gängeviertel, an inner-city artistic neighbourhood in Hamburg, perceive creative city policies and what strategies they employ to deal with consequences and enact their right to the creative city. The qualitative method is walking interviews. Hence, the findings suggest that artists in the Gängeviertel perceive creative city policies as non-existent and that they are more occupied in a constant struggle for space. Furthermore, vision and adaption, taking initiative, and protest and occupation have been identified as strategies that artists employ to enact their right to the creative city. This thesis emphasizes the importance of power delegation to local communities to ensure sustainable creative development. Further research could focus on the initial occupation of the Gängeviertel and how it relates to previous creative city policies, looking further into their possible consequences on urban communities.
