“Perspectives of the AUC and its Prospects”
The broad purpose of the association for urban creativity (AUC) is to tap into creative knowledge of citizens in solving practical problems creatively and then combine this collected “citizen knowledge” with “academic knowledge” in order to create unexpected, but well-matching theories for urban studies.In this session, we discuss presentations of the previous three days and aim to understand “citizen knowledge” reflected in activities of the AUC. In particular, we focus on social inclusion through arts and cultural creativity applied by the Asian Network of the Plaza. We also discuss potential ways to establish a new paradigm for theories on the creative city and what is the vision for creative city planning and urban administration.
