Outline of Final Research Achievements	The creative city policies have been attracting worldwide attention as a strategy for regenerating cities since the 2000s. This study focuses on three cities, Yokohama, which adopted a creative city policy in 2004, Kanazawa, which was registered in the UNESCO creative cities network in 2009, and Hamamatsu, which called itself as a creative city since 2007 and joined with the UNESCO network in 2014. This study revealed that: Yokohama City, without historical background of a feudal city, utilizes contemporary art in order to regeneration of the central waterfront area; Kanazawa City as a typical traditional city aims to revitalize through protecting local traditional crafts and reserving historical townscape; and Hamamatsu City, having a major instrument industry as one of its economic base, makes an attempt to adapt to deindustrialization by promoting the city as a town of music.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	「創造都市」という言葉が世界的に流布しているが、これまでその内実が十分に調査研究されないまま、期待と批判が入り交じる状況にあった。本研究では、類型的に異なる３つの都市を取り上げて都市の成立基盤と産業基盤の違いによる類型的比較という観点から、政策の意図と実施過程について社会学的に分析した。封建都市としての背景をもたない首都圏の大都市、封建都市としての特徴を今日に残している歴史都市、封建都市として出発しながら大企業製造業を発展させた都市、それぞれの特徴を踏まえて、転換期における創造的な対応が求められていることを明らかにした。
