Discussing global society entails discussing the predominant
characteristics of knowledge-based activities in all walks of life.
Its main characteristics are based on creativity, innovation,
freedom, and networking. The emergence of such a society poses
several challenges to all disciplines of social sciences. Within
such a context, sociologists must have practical encounters to the
theoretical, methodological, and empirical challenges imposed
within contemporary global society. In this vein, studying creative
cities from an interdisciplinary perspective helps provide critical
readings of the phenomenon and the different levels of the concept
in reality. The Handbook of Research on Creative Cities and
Advanced Models for Knowledge-Based Urban Development provides
global models and best practices of creative cities worldwide and
illustrates different theoretical blueprints for the better
understanding of contemporary global society. While defining key
concepts of creative cities, global society, and creative class,
the book also clarifies the main differences between hubs, parks,
and precincts and their contributions to knowledge-based
development. Covering topics that include knowledge economy, social
inclusion, and urban mobility, this comprehensive reference is
ideal for sociologists, urban planners/designers, political
scientists, economists, anthropologists, historians, policymakers,
researchers, academicians, and students.
