Co-creating cities: future challenges IndexReviews'This book provides an important contribution on the links between urban planning and other types of organizing work performed in the name of the creative city . Further, it also highlights the daunting challenges associated with attempting to realize highly ambitious ideals of decentralized co-creation, empowering a plethora of heterogeneous actors, in a manner that does not sell short democratic transparency and accountability.' -- Jonathan Metzger, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden 'A detailed, processual and ethnographic study of European Cities of Culture is overdue. This book fills an important gap in both scholarship and civic management. For any city authorities planning to bid for and stage future City of Culture programs it is an essential practical guide; for any researchers interested in the management of cities, those elusive, flexible objects of analysis, it will be an important contribution to their analytical toolbox. Lively and well researched, it is a must-read.' -- Stewart Clegg, University of Technology Sydney, Australia 'Organizing Cultural Capital events has become the contemporary equivalent of Tennesse Valley Authority: every city wants to do it, and prescriptions how to do it proliferate. This book is unique in that it presents not only many different stories and points of view, providing a detailed description of everyday organizing, but also original theoretical insights together with useful practical recommendations.' -- Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden 'The authors set out to develop a framework that explains if and how co-creation can be used as strategy-as-practice . In doing so, they have produced a wonderful case study on co-creating a city's living and public space, the next movement and cultural turn following the creative class studies in urban design. There are innovative uses of narrative analysis to provide multiple perspectives of the co-creative process. It contains valuable insights for anyone interested in urban design.' -- Hans Hansen, Texas Tech University, US 'This book makes a very important contribution to the strategy-as-practice field as it proposes a thorough ethnography about how governments, academia, business, non-profits and citizens engage themselves in the strategic and collaborative process of planning. Drawing on a comprehensive and compelling notion of action nets , the book provides a fascinating interpretive explanation that will be inspiring for academics and practitioners. This timely volume raises a host of fascinating issues related to organizing and strategizing as co-creative practices and will be an invaluable resource across multiple domains and organizational research areas. Moreover, the book will convince you that small is beautiful !' -- Linda Rouleau, HEC Montreal, Canada 'This book provides an important contribution on the links between urban planning and other types of organizing work performed in the name of the 'creative city'.
