Every city wants to become creative, perhaps even the most creative ever. But what does it mean to be a creative city? What images take shape as a consequence? What sort of city do we envisage? Which one are we actually building? In a journey that starts with Blade Runner and passes through English punk, Milanese creative workers and Star Wars, the book explores the features and outcomes of the creative city, penetrating its dark side but also identifying its assets. In the future, cities must be guided by a vision of a creative city able to be inclusive yet competitive, to open new public spaces and to be socially innovative. This book presents some of the tools that allow us to look at the city as a place whose air makes people free.

Le développement rapide du financement de la culture par les groupements de communes a suscité une étude de l’Observatoire des politiques culturelles qui illustre les nouvelles formes de la décentralisation culturelle. La variété des situations n’empêche pas l’étude quantitative et qualitative de dégager des tendances qui reproduisent, tout en les bousculant sur certains points, les normes de politique culturelle existantes. Ce mouvement de décentralisation culturelle est encore en devenir, et l’étude se conclut sur quelques considérations prospectives. The rapid development of cultural funding by groupings of municipalities is the subject of a Cultural Policy Observatory study which describes the new forms of cultural decentralisation. Despite the variety of situations, the quantitative and qualitative study succeeds in identifying trends that follow current cultural policy standards, but not always completely. The move towards cultural decentralisation being an ongoing process, the study ends with a number of conjectures concerning the future.

Existem ou existiram cidades barrocas? Essa é questão basilar que o presente livro pretende responder. Para isso, o autor desenvolve uma investigação que tem como fundamento a averiguação da hipótese que assegura que o mesmo espírito que tomaria de assalto o mundo ocidental em todo o século XVII e na maior parte do século XVIII, contaminando a arte, a arquitetura, a literatura, a música, o teatro, teria igualmente alcançado a configuração visiva das cidades. Apontando para a atualidade do estudo crítico da História da Arquitetura, constrói-se a narrativa passando pelo sentido da “Urbanística Barroca”, na França e em Roma, e, posteriormente, frente às grandes contribuições dos mestres do Barroco italiano, discutindo o fenômeno da cidade barroca através da leitura do espaço e suas relações com os monumentos que compõem o drama barroco. O trabalho também aborda de maneira diferenciada como o fenômeno da cidade barroca se manifestou na produção da cidade brasileira setecentista, analisando particularmente Ouro Preto e, na América Hispânica, a cidade de Cusco, com todas as suas similaridades e diversidades.

In Being Interdisciplinary, Alan Wilson draws on five decades as a leading figure in urban science to set out a systems approach to interdisciplinarity for those conducting research in this and other fields. He argues that most research is interdisciplinary at base, and that a systems perspective is particularly appropriate for collaboration because it fosters an outlook that sees beyond disciplines. There is a more subtle thread, too. A systems approach enables researchers to identify the game-changers of the past as a basis for thinking outside convention, for learning how to do something new and how to be ambitious, in a nutshell how to be creative. Ultimately, the ideas presented address how to do research.Building on this systems focus, the book first establishes the basics of interdisciplinarity. Then, by drawing on the author's experience of doing interdisciplinary research, and working from his personal toolkit, it offers general principles and a framework from which researchers can build their own interdisciplinary toolkit, with elements ranging from explorations of game-changers in research to superconcepts. In the last section, the book tackles questions of managing and organising research from individual to institutional scales.Alan Wilson deploys his wide experience - researcher in urban science, university professor and vice-chancellor, civil servant and institute director - to build the narrative. While his experience in urban science provides the illustrations, the principles apply across many research fields.
