The aim of the Meeting is to analyze in depth principles and practices of the creative city for the formulation of policy lessons and recommendations able to contribute to the building of a creative city.
In particular, it will be focused on the following issues:
1. what is a creative city; how the creative city actually works, which are the key features and the critical elements conditioning creativity; how ideas turn into urban innovations; the drivers stimulating a city to innovate, the barriers and the constraints;
2. which are the benefits of the creative city in terms of competitiveness, environment, welfare, social stability, quality of life, vitality;
3. which are the key assets, infrastructures and tools required to promote creative processes in cities towards competitive, sustainable and cohesive places, and how public policy can influence the creative city.
