Overview

In recent years, the study of creativity has shifted from analysis of culture as an end in itself to one of economic enhancement, and its capability to generate wealth and promote economic development. Increasingly, European cities and regions are using the arts to fuel wellbeing and reinvigorate economies after the comparative demise of more traditional industry and manufacturing. This book analyzes the impact of culture across the European continent, shedding new light on those countries with a rich and famous heritage such as Italy and France, but extending the study to newer forms of creativity. The phenomenon is measured to see how it conforms to new ideas and innovations and compared to the process outside Europe. The result is a book that should be of enormous interest to economists, regional scientists, managerial scientists and the network theorists.
