This book crtitically examines the reciprocal relationship between creativity and the built environment and features leading voices from across the world in a debate on originating, learning, modifying, and plagiarizing creativities within the built environment.
The Companion includes contributions from architecture, design, planning, construction, real estate, economics, urban studies, geography, sociology, and public policies. Contributors review the current field and proposes new conceptual frameworks, research methodologies, and directions for research, policy, and practice. Chapters are organised into five sections, each drawing on cross-disciplinary insights and debates:
Section I connects creativity, productivity, and economic growth and examines how our built environment stimulates or intimidates human imaginations. Section II addresses how hard environments are fabricated with social, cultural, and institutional meanings, and how these evolve in different times and settings. Section III discusses activities that directly and indirectly shape the material development of a built environment, its environmental sustainability, space utility, and place identity. Section IV illustrates how technologies and innovations are used in building and strengthening an intelligent, real-time, responsive urban agenda. Section V examines governance opportunities and challenges at the interface between creativity and built environment.
An important resource for scholars and students in the fields of urban planning and development, urban studies, environmental sustainability, human geography, sociology, and public policy.

Reviews for Routledge Companion to Creativity and the Built Environment
"""This rich and diverse collection connects the idea of the creative city with a much broader research base, and offers a really valuable base for rethinking the role of creativity in the urban environment. The editors have assembled a book that stimulates thoughts on new connections and combinations and challenges the way we look at the city. It should be a required reading for all students of the urban environment.""

David Charles, Northumbria University, UK “Creativity is not just the product of gifted individuals and it does not exist 'in the air.' It is a social process which is embedded in our urban landscapes and built environment. This volume brings together a wide range of contributors to help us better understand this critical nexus.” Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class ""Miao and Yigitcanlar offer a truly interdisciplinary resource on the multifaceted intersections between human creativity and the urban context. Authors dig into an impressive range of issues and open critical lines of inquiry that deepen our knowledge of this important research area. Ambitious in scope and scale, The Routledge Companion of Creativity and the Built Environment will be a go-to reference on urban creativity for years to come."" Carl Grodach, Foundation Professor of Urban Planning and Design, Monash University, Australia"
