Beschreibung

This book focuses on overlooked contextual factors that constitute the urban creative climate or innovative urban milieu in contemporary cities. Filled with reflections based on interviews with a diverse range of creative actors in various local neighborhoods in Tokyo, it offers a rare glimpse into the complex set of elements that provide long-term, physical, and sociocultural support to urban creativity. Ursic and Imai highlight the interplay between physical and soft (social) factors in the process of place-making and explore how a city¿s creativity is influenced by financial support and accessible infrastructure, as well as the sets of informal networks, services, and tacit, locally embedded knowledge that provide the basic layers of stimuli needed for creativity to fully develop. The authors show how the future development of creativity and the overall development of a city depend not only on the (top-down) planning strategies of formal authorities, but also on the appropriate (bottom-up) inclusion of heterogeneous elements that are provided and embedded within the small, hidden context of city spaces.

Zusammenfassung

Analyzes the 'creative capacity' of Tokyo, which includes not only the capacity to absorb temporary shocks and react to occasional economic crisis, but involves the capacity for long-term renewal, re-organization and development from the set of available comparative advantages that stem from locally embedded cultural, social, tacit knowledge

Examines the spatial factors that either pull or push small creative groups and individuals to/from Tokyo

Interprets the social, cultural, economic and spatial characteristics of transformation of public spaces in Tokyo

Offers a valuable and fresh contribution to the existing literature on transnational urban cultures, as well as urban network studies

Will appeal to architects, urban designers, consultants and community planners as well as local town planning groups, neighbourhood associations and NGO's globally
