Kreativní klastr Letná: vnitřní vazby, struktura a dynamika

The presented master thesis deals with the phenomenon of creative clustering in urban environment. The thesis is conducted in the form of a case study exploring a specific creative cluster on a micro level in order to gain insight into its dynamics, inner mechanisms and structure. The study's focus area is the neighborhood of Letna, Prague, Czech Republic where a cluster of designer and artist studios, galleries, centers for art education has formed in the last four years. Using primarily qualitative techniques, specific factors were identified as decisive for choosing this location by those individuals. The thesis focuses on inner functioning of the cluster through the insider perspective of its members and tries to identify the requirements and conditions for the emergence and development of a creative cluster. A lack of micro level research of creative clustering in the Czech Republic was a dominant motivation for conducting this thesis.
