Infrastructure & Institutions

For ideas to be implemented
Copyright laws/intellectual property vs. innovation/emergence/sharing
Suitable arts, culture and entertainment infrastructure
Ancillary service industries (e.g. media post-production, fashion, tourism)
Structure of the sector/s (e.g. concentration of TNCs and micro enterprises)

Urban mixture definition
Clash and friction between systems: industry/economy and culture (e.g. in conflicting interests in the sharing of IP)
Sites for social meeting and mixture as well as friction: connecting culture and economy, diversity, tolerance, civility
Creative cities are therefore those that cohabitate all four types – industry, economy, culture, and city
Population-wide (macro level) creativity
