“…Recent researches begin to offer important results to the spatial changes with a specific terminology (Hall, 2000;Glaeser, 2005;Markusen et al, 2008;Pratt, 2008;Thorsby, 2008;Scott, 2011;Zang et al, 2012;Hong et al, 2014;Stoian et al, 2014).…”

“…Many authors consider creative economies as generating functional complexity and -implicitly -growth of local economies (Drake, 2003;Florida, 2005;Burcea et al, 2014;Pintilii et al, 2014 a, b;Stoian et al, 2014;Drăghici et al, 2015). The link between sustainable economic development and creative economies is highlighted by some authors who consider this part of regional economy as essential for developing long-term development strategies (Deheinzelin, 2011;Harvey et al, 2012;Méndez et al, 2012;Abankina, 2013;Shuaib et al, 2013) as creative economies, although they do not have a high share in the local economy, generate multiplication effects in other parts of a local economic system (O'Connor, 2000).…”

Abstract.Creative economies are at the heart of the knowledge-based economy. The main objectives of the study are to present the spatial design of the regional systems of creativity in Romania and to identify the evolutionary trends, by creating spatial models for key economic indicators, specific to such economic activities. This paper focuses on how creative economies are concentrated in the national network of settlements and how they differentiate in terms of regional profile. Consequently, a yearly nationwide database was created for 2000-2012, which includes four-digit creative economic activities, according to the Classification of National Economy Activities, for each administrative unit in Romania. The analyses, conducted for the same period, show a concentration of creative economies as a national polycentric network which includes the capital city and cities with over 300,000 inhabitants, as well as their structured territorial systems emerging around them, representing the local and regional polycentric networks. The analysis of the economic profiles highlights the growing share of creative economies in the national economy that tends to contribute more and more to the increase of the operational complexity of the local and regional economies.
