By admin | November 8, 2010
In this essay, the author will discuss whether the idea of idea of creative city is focused on people rather than economy. In the first part I will introduce the subject giving a context based upon the basic literature and some basic working definitions. In a second part I will show arguments supporting the idea that creative city is basically a concept focused mainly on people and in a third part I will expose counter arguments based on literature but also on empirical information trying to show that besides the original intentions, this concept has become mostly focused on economy than people. Finally, I will contrast the ideas offered in the previous chapters discussing all the elements involved and attempting to answer the question that heads this essay.

Más allá de la molestia, la distancia no sólo física, sino que racional, que me da estar hoy lejos de la ciudad es que me permito plantear ciertos cuestionamientos en torno al tema.
Valdivia vive una contradicción y que necesariamente debe resolver. Por una parte estimula la creación de su potencial creativo sumándose a la corriente mundial en torno al concepto de ciudades e industrias creativas (Landry, 2001) y por otro intenta potenciar la industria primaria, altamente cuestionada internacionalmente por contaminante, como es la celulosa.
Bienvenidos. A partir de hoy quiero hacer renacer Sandiacala como una plataforma de difusión de contenidos en torno a la cultura, economía cultural y las industrias creativas. Luego de un año en Londres, donde curse un Master of Arts en Industrias Culturales y Creativas en la King’s College London, las experiencias y aprendizajes han sido [...]
