Summary:

"This pioneering Handbook brings together experts from a broad array of disciplines to explore creative regions worldwide. Pairing theoretical and practical insights, it presents an integrated and multidimensional account of the creative region, addressing major issues surrounding the concept and proposing a future research agenda. Through global analyses and case studies from both developing and developed regions, this Handbook studies the origins of the concept of creative regions in scientific literature and policymaking, shedding light on the global geographies of creativity from metropolitan regions to the rural-urban divide. It also examines the positive and adverse effects of creativity on the well-being and the economy of regions, as well as the technological and social dimensions of creative geographies, including the role of artificial intelligence. This Handbook is an essential resource for scholars of regional economics and regional studies, economic geography and cultural economics. It also provides insightful strategies for regional policymakers, urban planners, economic developers, and cultural and creative managers"-- Provided by publisher.
