| Description | The presented paper analyses the development of conditions for the development of a creative economy in the regions of the Czech Republic. Through the calculations of a number of sub-indicators in the area of talent, technology and tolerance (Florida´s 3T model), the development of the Creativity Index in 2011-2015 has been mapped in individual regions. In the next phase the development of the average growth rate of the Creativity Index was evaluated and graphically illustrated. At the end of the research, a situational and trending matrix of creativity was compiled, dividing the regions into four quadrants (leaders, up and coming, laggards, and losing ground). The results showed the dominant position of the capital city of Prague, which reached the highest score throughout the whole period and with great precedence surpassed all other regions. Only the South Moravian Region surpassed Prague in a specific way, in the value of the R & D indicator. In this region lies the second largest city of the Czech Republic in Brno, which has a very strong position in the field of research, development and innovation. The situational matrix captured the situation in which the leader’s quadrant was only Prague, while the other regions were growing in the region quadrant. On the contrary, the trend matrix has suggested that Prague is losing its leading position as it is overtaken by the South Moravian region. |
