abstract: Richard Florida is the founder of the Creative Class Theory. Florida asserts that the creative class is the driving force behind economic growth. The aim of this thesis is to research if the most creative metropolitan areas (according to Richard Florida) in the United States also have the highest levels of economic growth. The main question therefore is: “Are the most creative metropolitan areas in the United States also the metropolitan areas with the highest levels of economic growth? “. To answer this question I will research the 20 most creative metropolitan areas and compare these with other rankings and economic growth data. At the end it seems that the most creative metropolitan areas don’t necessarily have the highest levels of economic growth and are therefore not always the best performing metropolitan areas in the United States.
