‘It is often argued that creative industries can only thrive in large urban centres, like London. However, our research shows that from 1991 until the last recession, creative industries cluster growth had no obvious correlations to size or population density, outside of the capital - some secondary centres had seen limited growth, whilst some rural areas (notable Yorkshire and Cornwall) had seen significant growth.’
