Resumen:
This article has three aims: to present the historical context in which the concept of creative cities emerges, to describe the impact of cities on strengthening the financial element in the so-called post-fridist economy and to situate the role of these cities in corporative global capitalism, which appears as globalization. Based on these objectives, the article develops the theoretical background of the concept of creative cities, which are part of what economic geography calls regional innovation systems. The results highlight the importance of spatial aspects of creativity and innovation in the current economic framework.
