“…Therefore, the German aesthetician calls for their active creation through means of aesthetic education, and what seems extremely important in light of urban creativity, through means of aesthetic economy (Bohme, 2016: 116). Creative urban planning follows this principle, focusing on cultivation of the art of space sensing in process of development of so called, modern "sensual urbanism" (Kitson & Bratt, 2016). The need for acting in such direction was well recognized by Bohme, who identifies the sensual deprivation as one of main features of XXI century capitalism:…”

Urban creativity tends to be defined as a driving force of the ongoing changes in modern cities. While being a formally neutral term, the “creative,” in practice usually identifies all “good” sides of processes of urban transformations, especially those concerning the rise of spaces for sensual experiencing. The Creative City makes then a certain promise of aesthetic inclusion, enhanced participation, and autonomy for its citizens and visitors. However, the Creative City itself is neither an autonomous concept, nor the self-sufficient urban entity, but is entangled in economic, organizational, and social aspects of urban performance. All this makes us ask, is its promise trustworthy or rather empty?

“…In the fields of neuroscience and behavioural psychophysics, the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) demonstrate that human responses to environmental stimuli can be measured, mapped and re-triggered in the brain (see Kitson and Bratt 2016). The neurobiological foundation of human behaviour that cognitive neuroscience illuminates provides experimental evidence that often corroborates or challenges existing theoretical concepts (Papale, et al 2016).…”

Introduction: satellite urbanism In the late 1990s through to early 2000s, the influential movement of landscape urbanism germinated at the intersection of architecture and landscape architecture (Allen 2009). With urban discourse wedged between the well-documented failures of modernism and the neo-traditional reactions of new urbanism, landscape urbanism proposed a third way. Essentially reversing the familiar relationship of conventional black and white urban figure/ground plans that denoted the city as an assemblage of solid buildings interspersed with neutral white space, landscape urbanism instrumentalised the ground in-between (see Pollak 2006) (figure 1). In the process, the myriad components that make up the city were re-conceptualized into ecological systems (Bullivant 2006; Waldheim 2002). If the Modern City was conceived as a machine for living, the Landscape City resembled a living machine.
