Creative class plays an important role in leading economic development through creativity in the society and the economy. This report categorized creative class as the profession which leads the industry of a new growth engine and compensates for weakened manufacturing, and analyzed current status of each region. In 2014 the number of Korea’s creative class reached 5.92 million, accounting for 23.1% of those in the professions. The number of creative class is on increase, but is at a low level compared to that of advanced economies. Seeing each region, capital area such as Seoul, and Gyeonggi-do province has more than a half population of over all creative class, while non-capital area usually has a population in large cities such as metropolitan cities. However, seeing the growth rate of creative class for the past 6 years, small and medium sized cities of non-capital areas had a higher growth rate than that of capital areas. Since 2007, factors such as innovative city development, public sector relocation, and creation of industrial complex has led to a job creation in small and medium sized cities of non-capital areas. And the improvement of housing environment has helped increase the number of creative class. For thorough examination of traits of the regions that the number of creative class increases, the panel regression analysis was implemented, which was comprised of factors related to the society and the economy of each region and ‘quality of places,’ as well. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that Korea’s creative class were mostly the highly educated, higher than college education. Also, the higher quality of places is, for example, medical institution, and cultural and welfare facilities, the more creative class increases in number. That is the same result as the opinion of Florida in 2004, which states that creative class highly tends to consume cultural goods. To produce creative class, differentiated strategies for each region, using traits of creative class are necessary. Small and medium sized cities in non-capital area have a higher growth rate. However, they have relatively less adequate environment than metropolitan cities. The latter one includes jobs in creative industry; accommodation; education; and culture. Therefore, it will be an efficient way for small and medium sized cities to have strategies to actively attract creative class, after targeting super-creative core mainly in R&D professions, and in specialized technology fields.
