AB Cities are an inexhaustible source of creativity, not only due to agglomeration and density but also because of the interaction between actors, the possibilities to generate ideas, and the talent and diversity they attract. Cities and their administrative bodies often see the supply and demand for vibrant, livable spaces —with access to services, public space, and cultural goods and services— are often seen as secondary and luxurious objectives, as opposed to seeing them as an essential driver for economic development, the attraction, and retention of talent, nor as a source of community cohesion, adaptation of the infrastructure and transformation of the public space and placemaking.This doctoral thesis seeks to understand the variables related to the creative economy that the most prosperous regions and cities globally have promoted to facilitate the creation of wealth and job creation. Curiously, the creative economy has often also been an effective solution for sustainability manage, maintain, and disseminate tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This dissertation also seeks to understand basic notions between possible gaps in emerging creative ecosystems and their supply of cultural infrastructure. It analyzes the emergence of the concept of the Orange Economy in Latin America and its possible projection in the public policy narrative. This analysis starts from the perspective of urban planning, focusing on cases at a local level, and is preceded by the macro vision from some multilateral development organizations. To achieve this goal, our research will rely on the analysis of synthetic indexes and tools to compare creative and livable regions and cities, in addition to deepening the analysis of three intervention methodologies designed by multilateral organizations, through text analysis. Finally, the dissertation, based on specific case studies, delves into the characterization of best practices regarding the use of urban planning tools to promote creative cities in the US — Washington, DC (the most competitive city for artists in the USA), Baltimore, and Seattle — and in future impacts — positive and negative — of the location of creative economy technology companies, such as Amazon, in the surrounding communities of Arlington and Alexandria, in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, understanding the first effects of influence, as well as also possible externalities such as displacement and disparities in access to cultural goods and services.Tools such as the "creative cities" composite indexes and rankings of livable cities can help detect deficiencies or possibilities for expansion and should open debates and support positive narratives. However, these tools should not be considered as an absolute value or definitive guarantee of the economic and social maximization of culture and creativity as a competitive advantage. This research also argues that it will be imperative to foster the potential of their creative economy, innovation, and culture to maximize the competitive advantages of cities without neglecting the celebration and preservation of the essence that makes cities unique: the communities that configure them and its cultural fabric, without diluting its identity, nor decapitalizing its intangible cultural heritage; much less expelling its most vulnerable citizens. Creative cities are those in which culture and diversity are breathed but cannot be those urban concentrations with prohibitive prices for citizens that, ultimately, shape their particular and unique characteristics —what we call material and intangible cultural heritage.
