Abstract: Most analyses of the urban core stress the role of firms and entire industries in abandoning central locations for dispersed ones. Only those with strong ties to government or for whom face-to-face specialized interchanges matter remain tied to the core. This line of reasoning ignores the fact that workers are also urban actors and may make residential location decisions independent of firms. In this paper, I argue that one source of contemporary urban core stability and vitality is the commitments of certain groups of workers to work and live there. I explore this theme by looking at artists as a case study.
