Rich, I have a couple of things that may be of interest (they happen to use Austin as a case as well as critiquing the creative class). One is in a recent issue of IJURR: McCann, E.J. 2007. Inequality and Politics in the Creative City-Region: Questions of Livability and State Strategy. The International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. Vol.31 No.1, pp.188-196. The other (which may be better for your students) is forthcoming in an online journal but I have an ms copy on my web page: McCann, E.J. In Press. Livable city / unequal city: The Politics of Policy-Making in a 'Creative' Boomtown.
