Developing and sustaining creative cities: a sustainability tool for designers, planners, and public administrators

W. Cecil Steward and Sharon Kuska

International Journal of Sustainable Development, 2010, vol. 13, issue 1, pages 6-16

Abstract: A creative city will be made up of many distinct characteristics within the five domains of sustainability: environmental qualities, socio-cultural conditions, technological applications, economic patterns and vitalities and supportive, democratic public policies. All of these characteristics are dependent upon sustainable design, sustainable planning and responsible urban administration for the creative and sustainable human habitat. Each key characteristic within these five domains is potentially a sustainability indicator that can be designed, planned and tracked over time for urban sustainability efficiency and effectiveness.
