sustainable urban development Project Description Melbourne is unique in having two UNESCO Creative City designations which are part of the 200-member UNESCO Creative Cities Network – Design (2017 onwards) and Literature (2008 onwards). The creative city is recognised as important to economic and social development in the United Nations Development Programme’s Creative Economy 2013 Special Edition: Widening Local Development Pathways. This report describes the need to encourage creativity and innovation as “urgent” to meet the challenges of urban development and sustainable, liveable cities. Bokova and Clark state, “the next frontier of knowledge generation rests on understanding interactions, specificities and policies at local levels, and how the creative economy might be practically promoted in communities, cities and regions” (p.10). The report also identifies cultural and creative industry mapping as an essential tool to inform planning and decision-making and to address the knowledge gap at the local level, and states, “a participatory methodology for knowledge production is vital” (p.157). This research could take the form of embedded research in Melbourne’s creative and cultural organisations, such as galleries, libraries and museums; generative research which facilitates the sustainment of creative practices through design; or historical thesis research on creative practices and communities in Melbourne. The project may embed measurement and evaluation of innovation and impact; explore models for conceptualising the value created for industry and society by design and creativity; and the impact of creativity on urban economics. The overarching research question is: What pathways might be/have been developed to encourage creativity and innovation in the pursuit of inclusive,

  • The Declining Labour Share and the Return of Democratic Class Conflict in Australia
    THE DECLINING LABOUR SHARE AND THE RETURN OF DEMOCRATIC CLASS CONFLICT IN AUSTRALIA Shaun Wilson The previous articles in this special issue of JAPE have analysed Australian economic trends contributing to the declining labour share of national income. This article considers the political dimensions that have driven this decline, and some of the implications of such a dramatic long- run shift in the distribution of economic resources in Australia. My argument builds on the observation by French economist Thomas Piketty and other researchers associated with the World Inequality Report: no matter how much economists improve the statistical accuracy and detail attached to their studies of incomes and wealth, the problem of distribution remains a ‘deeply political’ one (Piketty 2013: 20). If, as most accounts suggest, the decline in the labour share in Australia has been among the more severe in international comparisons, then it follows from Piketty’s conclusion that the political economy driving this decline in the labour share must have involved correspondingly large shifts in politics and policy. The main aim of this article is to characterise the general pressures that face wage-earners in Australia’s new political economy, and in turn, the challenges facing the broader labour movement in redressing and reversing these trends. There is little doubt that pressures on the share and distribution of labour earnings are influenced by the broader forces reshaping global capitalism. But this article proceeds on a premise reinforced in recent scholarship within comparative political economy: that national politics and institutions can, at least to some extent, determine the distributional consequences of national economic change (see Thelen 2012).
