With the publication of The Rise of the Creative Class by Richard
Florida in 2002, the 'creative city' became the new hot topic among
urban policy makers, planners and economists. Florida has developed
one of three path-breaking theories about the relationship between
creative individuals and urban environments. The economist Ake E.
Andersson and the psychologist Dean Simonton are the other members
of this 'creative troika'. In the Handbook of Creative Cities,
Florida, Andersson and Simonton appear in the same volume for the
first time. The expert contributors in this timely Handbook extend
their insights with a varied set of theoretical and empirical
tools. The diversity of the contributions reflect the
multidisciplinary nature of creative city theorizing, which
encompasses urban economics, economic geography, social psychology,
urban sociology, and urban planning. The stated policy implications
are equally diverse, ranging from libertarian to social democratic
visions of our shared creative and urban future. Being truly
international in its scope, this major Handbook will be
particularly useful for policy makers that are involved in urban
development, academics in urban economics, economic geography,
urban sociology, social psychology, and urban planning, as well as
graduate and advanced undergraduate students across the social
sciences and in business.
