Where are actual existing creative
Where are actual existing creative practices evolving towards?
In recent years, there has been urban policy shift in Europe towards fuelling smart communities. That is, communities and cities that transform themselves to achieve carbon neutral, competitive neighbourhoods and cities through the use of information and communication technologies (UE 2011). In doing so, city strategies have been stressing the necessity to construct spaces that foster creative communities, co-production processes and open innovations and knowledge. These concepts have precisely being central for already existing bottom-up non-institutionalized communities of makers looking for alternative models of place and production; communities that should have been benefiting by this policy shift. However, research evidence across Europe suggests that this might not be case. First, the affordance of the key concepts of community, place, creativity, openness, smartness and inclusiveness differs - and many times conflicts - from the institutional top-down point of view to the bottom up one. Second, crisis and austerity politics seems to have enlarged the contradictions and conflicts between these diverse visions.
This workshop is aimed to explore these questions by focusing on the intersection zone between the Barcelona model of a creative, smart and transcultural city, epitomized by the 22@ district in the Poblenou, and the representation given by communities working with creativity, knowledge and technology in the same space.
