| Summary |
"The Creative City is a clarion call for imaginative action in developing and running urban life and shows how to think, plan and act creatively in addressing urban issues. Examples of innovation and regeneration from around the world help to develop a clear toolkit of methods to revive our cities and to analyse the crucial steps and ways of thinking involved. The result is a book that will catalyse new approaches to solving urban problems, helping those who tackle them to harness more of the energies available for creating liveable, vibrant and attractive cities."--BOOK JACKET |
