Some tentative typologies of case studies and governance mechanisms are drawn in order to improve the understanding of those dynamics, to build up knowledge on suitable 'Creative Cities' governance models, and to develop ideas to support a strategy for public intervention in the Portuguese case.

The urban milieu and the genesis of creativity in cultural activities: An introductory framework for the analysis of urban creative dynamics

“…This line of research is not only based on a lot of conceptual production concerning these subjects but also on the different types of experiences and success cases that have been repeatedly referred in recent literature on these subjects -from cultural quarters to urban regeneration or qualification strategies (either more integrated actions or the mere building of flagship facilities); from cultural clusters and highly territorialized image and symbol production systems to the realization of marking events or successful festivals; from specific policies to promote some creative industries to local and regional development policies, urban competitiveness policies, or even policies aiming at the promotion of other goals, such as social inclusion, participation or multiculturalism (see, for example, ERICarts, 2002, Costa et al, 2006. 6 It is important to highlight that many of the aspects concerning artists' decisions regarding location choices are extremely subjective and can't be easily measured.…”

“…Important contributes such as the work of Charles Landry (2000) or Richard Florida (2002), and the development of concepts like Creative Cities, Creative Activities and Industries or Creative Classes, are just a few examples of how this subject has been discussed by the academy, and of how it has become an important issue in contemporary political talk and practices (Costa et al, 2006).…”

“…There will be an opportunity to expose some of these ideas in the next sections, some of which have been previously a subject of our interest (Costa et al, 2006). "Creative cities" and "creative industries" or "activities" (as well as related notions such as cultural "activities" or "industries") can be rather ambiguous concepts due to their multiple origins (theoretical and disciplinary) and their dubious practical applications worldwide on policy making.…”

Dos dois lados do espelho: diálogos com um bairro cultural através da intervenção urbana

“…Certos bairros, um pouco por todo o mundo, têm a capacidade de se afirmar como centros da criatividade e da vida cultural das cidades onde se encontram (Scott, 2000;Costa et al, 2008). Estes "bairros criativos" são zonas onde fervilha a oferta cultural e artística, da mais "convencional" à mais "alternativa", mas são também espaços de encontro e sociabilidade, de grande vitalidade urbana, onde a arte e a cultura estão normalmente associadas à boémia e à vida nocturna (O'Connor e Wynne, 1996, Scott, 2000Costa, 2007, Cooke e Lazzeretti, 2009).…”
