Abstract

In this research the central question of ‘How do artists in Ebbingekwartier in Groningen experience Broedplaatsen and do these policies contribute to local empowerment of artist communities?’ is researched through walking interviews. In the past 20 years, European and North American local councils have turned to creative city policies to redevelop neglected neighbourhoods, after the publication of ‘The Creative City’ by Richard Florida. Whilst Broedplaatsen fall under the category of creative policies, this research has shown evidence that the Gemeente does not seek economic benefits through the policy but rather social benefits and creating spaces for new artists and entrepreneurs. Suggestions for further research would include surveying the same impacts and community empowerment of Broedplaats across the whole of Groningen, or other Northern Dutch cities such as Leeuwarden, using the walking interview method.
