IAM 6374 - Creativity and Urban Development Workshop


Credits: 3

Completed at SDA Bocconi University. Creativity is a multifaceted and complex concept, particularly as it relates to both the actors and the organizations involved in production and consumption and the urban settings in which production and consumption take place. This course is aimed at (1) investigating how the creative industries affect urban growth via the relationships between urban landscapes/geographies and creative innovation and production systems; (2) integrating managerial, urban, and cultural studies under the theme of creative professionals and urban creativity; and (3) developing competencies in field research, focusing on creativity within organizations and the urban setting and on producing project managers for creative projects, innovation managers or consultants, urban marketing experts within territorial agencies, researchers for the creative industries (both private and public) and urban settings, and consultants for developers and municipalities. The course is structured around three creative industries (design and architecture, visual arts, and pop culture), covering their internal organization and their relationships with the urban setting. Instructors are both academics and professionals working in the field. The course features several Italian and international guest speakers and company visits.
