Abstract

The article refers to the fact that thanks to the creative class, you can attract people to the countryside, contrary to the prevailing trend of population outflow to cities, and then create a special creative space that can bring financial benefits to the region’s economy and develop the creative abilities of citizens. In addition, the experience of the formation of such centers in order to identify best practices is considered. However, during the study it turned out that in foreign countries the development of the creative component mainly occurs through the tourism sector, in the Russian Federation the creative class is more interested in large megacities, rather than rural areas. The authors concluded that the creation of a single universal strategy for the development of rural territories is not advisable, since the region should monitor and understand the opportunities that are associated with the creative class, making at least as much effort as it takes to deliberately create other opportunities.
