Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to explore changes in the spatial distribution of creative industries in Czechia. We focus on the post-crisis period 2009–2013 using a multi-scale perspective. The core of the empirical research is based on a unique data set compiled from an annual survey of Czech-based firms by the Czech Statistical Office in productive sectors in 2009 and 2013. These data cover employment and financial indicators such as production, value added and wages, disaggregated to particular industries according to the NACE 2-digit classification and are available for the level of municipalities with extended competencies (micro-regions). We compare metropolitan regions (further divided into urban cores and commuting hinterlands) and non-metropolitan regions from the viewpoint of the spatial distribution, sectoral structure and productivity of the creative industries (a cross-sectional analysis for 2013 and 2009–2013 changes). We ask if, and to what extent, the (post)-crisis development altered the spatial and sectoral organisation of the creative industries in Czechia.
