Abstract

The last decade has been a period of in- tensive interest for “creativity”. In fact, it is not the “creativity” that is new to human- kind, as people have been creative through- out history. What is new is the rather fre- quent use of the word “creativity” to de- scribe a diverse set of areas in our lives. Creative economy (Howkins, 2001), creative industries, creative jobs, creative class (Florida, 2002), creative cities and creative tourism (Richards & Wilson, 2006) have been some of the areas where the concept has been utilized to relate the consequent fields to innovation and imagination.
