| Research Abstract |
Since the 2000's, the creative city policy has been attracting worldwide attention as a strategy for regenerating cities that have been declined with globalization and deindustrialization. This study focuses on the city of Yokohama, which adopted a creative city policy in 2004, examining the causes and aims of that policy and the actual processes of its implementation and evaluating its achievements and remaining problems.
The objectives of the policy are to attract artists and designers, to form a cluster of the creative industry and to reshape the waterfront of downtown area. The processes of the policy implementation reveal that the agenda of the creative city is characterized by urban design, having a weakness in industrial policy and civic involvement, and diminishing its spatial perspective due to the reorganization of public administration.
