Urban Creativity: An Entrepreneurial Focus

This paper discusses the power of the creative sector to revive today's cities by broadening the discussion of the creative sector to include all the tools, assets, and processes of urban creativity. While scholars commonly tie the creative class to specific neighborhoods, especially "silo-ing" creative producers into being the solution for decaying and decrepit neighborhoods and areas, this paper presumes that urban cities already have the depth of diversity to support urban creativity if the dominant planning logic is shifted to proximity of resource from a specific location development.
