The rise, fall and rise again of the creative city
A seminar series on the cultural and creative city
Coordinators: Marianna d’Ovidio and Fabio Quassoli
PhD course URBEUR – Urban Studies

Allen Scott’s seminal book “The cultural economy of cities” was published in 2000, a couple of years later Florida wrote “The rise of the creative class”. After almost 20 years, what lessons can we learn? Which challenges on our cities? Do we still need such a model for the urban growth?
These and many other issues are the topic of the Cultural and creative city seminars series: next week (and one more day) from february 5 to 12 in Bicocca.
