title: Creative city dynamics: a case study of the Gängeviertel and Hamburg
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
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.
