eveloping a city to become a creative city is not an easy thing; it does not only require cooperative participation of all related sectors, but also good qualification of all aspects of the city development. The creative city is a concept which was initiated by Charles Landry in the late 1980?s and since then this concept has become a globally accepted paradigm in city development planning. As it has been defined by Landry (2000), the creative city may inspire the regional government, scholars, business workers, and people in general because this concept tries to explore the creative potentials which are possessed by each city. read more

What are the most important issues in urban studies today? The UN has declared that the world population reached the figure of seven billion people on 31 October 31, 2011. For the last two years, more than half of the global population has lived in cities. The UN picked a baby born in a Mumbai slum as the seventh billion citizen of the world, but it could just as well have chosen a child born in kampong Ledok Ratmakan in Yogyakarta or any other Indonesian urban kampong. After all, Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world and rapid urbanization is also an important characteristic of this country, and has been a constant factor for at least the last century and a half. read more

Spurred by the thinking of French philosophers such as Adam Badiou and Jacques Ranciere, there-theorization of aesthetics has revived hope in the revolutionary potential of art. Among other things it has given rise toglobally oriented discourses on art and the creation of a democratic future. Yet a sophisticated return to a universalism of thought and action can be detected in these recent analytical procedures. The arising question here is whether the universality of human emancipation has onlyto be understood in teleological, singular, or transcendental terms? read more
