Description
The book addresses the cities that invest in research, innovation, and regeneration through culture and creativity, cities with high quality of life, where culture, art, and architecture have a powerful role and active meaning. The publication is sort of a research-review, i.e., an atlas of urban projects dealing with good practices for transforming the contemporary city, including case studies from Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Genoa, Hamburg, Lyon, Lisbon, Marseille, Newcastle, Palermo, Rotterdam, and Valencia. In particular, these creative capitals are interpreted through maps, data, information, and benchmarks useful to understand how Europe is today evolving.
