The struggle for creativity creativity as struggle
Abstract
Creativity is fancy, glamorous and desirable. Who can be against creativity? At the same time it is used selectively and consists of precarious and hard work. When it comes down to urban development the ambivalence of the concept primarily involves the contradiction between non-commercial initiatives, self-exploitation and the contemporary hype around the creative city. The advantage, frankly is, that creative working conditions are on the political agenda today – even though in need for radical democratization.
