The AA. discuss relevant debates on research knowledge construction, the creative city and the path-dependent character of neoliberal governmental objectives. They turn to the geographical, demographic and cultural characteristics that make Darwin
a challenging and distinct context for translation of global theories of creative city rejuvenation. They suggest ways in which creative city research can be refreshed through engaging with literatures on (post)colonial urban politics and intersections
with policy initiatives other than those targeted at creative industries per se.

The article initially presents the theoretical framework of creative city concept and an approach to its historical development, and then analyzes it through the texts of the main promoters and researchers, Richard Florida and Charles Landry
, and its most notable critics. Then comes a breviary of the authors who reflect on the creative city in a recent book titled Creative city perspectives. We conclude that the creative city concept is a new paradigm for planning and urban design, which

This paper tests the link between the creative industries and wage and employment growth in a panel of travel-to-work areas from 2003 to 2008. The results suggest the creative industries drive both wage and employment growth in other sectors
. However, when only urban areas are considered the creative industries drive wage growth but do not increase employment. These findings are consistent with the idea that the creative industries help other sectors grow, but may squeeze out declining

This paper examines creativity, cities, and innovation in the United Kingdom. The results stress that creative industries firms are more likely to introduce original product innovations, but not those learnt from elsewhere. Creative occupations
, however, appear a more robust general driver of innovation. We find no support for the hypothesis that urban creative industries firms are particularly innovative. However, creative occupations are used in cities to introduce product innovations learnt

Cognitive–cultural capitalism is a more robust theoretical framework through which contemporary urbanization processes can be described. The framework of cognitive–cultural capitalism shapes the peculiar logic of learning, creativity and innovation
that are observed in cities today but also has many wider and deeper impacts on urban outcomes. It has important policy implications so a critique of current policy stances derived from creative city ideas is also provided.

Geography and creativity : toward a politicized intervention

If the relationship between geographical knowledge-making and creative practices has an extensive history, creative expression produced by geographers has not been much examined for its potential for and as a form of political critique. In an effort
to present the kinds of working practices contemporary geographers have been engaging with as creative practitioners and collaborators, pieces from practicing artists/writers, academic geographers were sollicited. The result is eighteen contributions
including poetry, essays (fiction and creative nonfiction), an excerpt from a novel, photographs, prints, a graphic narrative, a feature interview, and a commentary on a dramatic forum-theater play-all of which perform political critiques of contemporary
