ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the popularity of cultural and creative industries has
been set off worldwide, and the creative economy has become a new and important
growth of the regional economy. Around the theme of cultural and creative industries,
its derivative research fields, such as public policies, governance, cultural,
industrial parks, art industrial, etc., are also highly sought after by people.
However, at this stage, it seems that the public only sees the positive aspects
of cultural and creative industries but seldom focuses on their negative
aspects. This paper mainly reviews Peck’s critical analysis of Florida bestsellers The Rise of the Creative Class: And how it is Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life, and makes an in-depth analysis around the creative class and in
connection with the advanced viewpoints of index scholars in the field of
cultural and creative industries.
