| Summary |
This book looks at a range of creative and innovative solutions to the challenges of urban living. Creativity in all its forms is essential to the healthy evolution of urban environments particularly when undergoing such rapid change. Often the young and differently minded can find ways to respond to local problems that policy and bureaucracy could take years to even acknowledge. This book shares 4 key trends and provides exciting examples from around the globe. 1 Collaborative Consumption: the sharing or resources and peer to peer exchange, was named by Time Magazine in 2010 as one of the top 10 ideas that will change the world. 2 Collaborative Urbanism: the next big thing in city revitalization brings people together to make the city that they want to live in. 3 The Pop Up Movement captures the spirit of the temporary the exploratory and the innovative, a testing ground for new ideas and a movement that has captured the imagination of many. 4 Creative Catalyst shares case studies and examples of the value of creativity in helping us see the city with fresh eyes |
