Project description
The project investigates how contemporary knowledge workers - defined by the abstract (i.e. mental) nature of both labour input and product output - are attracted to, and retained in, particular urban precincts. The research has three main dimensions: literature review, expert opinion survey and case study(s). The strands of investigation are drawn together in policy recommendations for Queensland.
