As neoliberal economic policies have faltered in recent years, the issue of the creative economy and creative cities seems to be taking a back seat in academic debates. It is undeniable, however, that the economic development of cities and countries continues to depend on creativity, knowledge and innovation. In urban development culture-based urban regeneration plays a growing role. All the signs are that the creative economy is still with us. But what happened to creative cities and where did they go? How about the actual role of creative and cultural industries in the current urban development? What can we expect in the future in terms of creative, knowledge-intensive and smart development?
In this session presentations focusing on the following topics are welcome:
–    Current development trends in the creative economy of European countries and metropolitan regions; 
–    Characteristics of creative, cultural and knowledge-intensive city development in Europe; 
–    Creative and cultural solutions in the development of metropolitan regions; 
–    Theory and practice: experiences in developing creative and smart cities; 
–    The role of knowledge-intensive industries, digitalisation and smart technologies in urban development.
