Environmental Discourses and the Question of Creative Environment in a City

Abstract

The paper deals with the different environmental discourses and the question whether the city is a creative environment. The theses have been developed as follows: 1) there are different environmental discourses including technological, sociological, ecological, religious, philosophical (ethical), urban, and discourse of creativity; 2) a novelty of a discourse follows from the interdisciplinary character, i.e. From a combination of the discourses; 3) a city both attracts and turns away the creative workers: here there are many occasions of creative activities and spreading of creation, however at the same time there is an anti-ecological environment that also uniforms creation; 4) although cosmopolitanism and globalism are intimately connected, they could be evaluated as two contrary principles: the first one is to be connected with the principle of difference, the latter – with the principle of unification; 5) although there are many debates concerning such social formation as the creative class, it is the main element and engine of a creative society.

The Production Safety Strategies for Enhancing Food Quality Through Ecological Imperatives in the Context of National Security

“…These studies provide insights into mechanisms that can support the implementation of ecological imperatives through innovation and economic incentives. While our study proposes strategic responses to ecological imperatives, the literature suggests that further exploration into how innovation and taxation could support these strategies is necessary, indicating a potential area for integrating our findings with broader economic and innovation-driven approaches [19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Salamatov et al [19] and Kačerauskas [20] explore the sociocultural dynamics of sustainable development and the role of creative environments, respectively.

Political Communication of Creative Society: The Aspects of Public Policy

The authors analyse different aspects of creative society: creative society features and creative class (Kacherauskas, 2017;Kačerauskas, 2015Kačerauskas, , 2017Kacerauskas, 2020;Mažeikis, 2015;Stasiulis, 2015aStasiulis, , 2015bStasiulis, , 2015c, creative economy and creative industries (Kačerauskas, 2018;Kačerauskas et al, 2021), creativity (Diržytė et al, 2021;Kačerauskas, 2016aKačerauskas, , 2016cKačerauskas, , 2019, creative city (Betlej & Kačerauskas, 2021;Kačerauskas, 2016b;Landry, 2008). Rather successful attempts for political aspect research could be investigation of creative bureaucracy (Landry & Caust, 2017); academic focus of renowned urban expert Landry (2019) recently moved from creative city to creative bureaucracy (Landry, 2020a(Landry, , 2020bLandry & Ellis, 2021) -best illustrated by his annual Creative Bureaucracy Festival.…”
