Abstract: The concept of “creative citiå” has become popular among people who are concerned with the future of cities. Creativity, creative industries and cultural resources are increasingly seen as a remedy for urban development in the postin­dustrial economy. The importance of the city has been increasing and if until recently, companies competed to recruit talented people to create innovations, after the information age, the sig­nificance of the workplace has been decreas­ing at the expense of the place for living. The concept was best developed and popularized by Charles Landry and Richard Florida. The objec­tive of this article was to present the concept of the creative city growth with its importance for the creative class, which has become a key driv­ing resource in modern economy. A comparative analysis of the different concepts of creative city with Richard Florida’s creative class theory was made.
