Thoughts on a new column

Text: Dr. Zoltán Lantos / iASK

The new topic-related column Creative Cities is devoted to the initiatives with the scales of regions and settlements that target to develop the individual cities and towns economically, socially and culturally with the means of science and arts, including urbanistic design and the social correlations of actual buildings and works of art. This area is traditionally strong all over Europe, and regarding the past 15-20 years, the urban development seems to go this direction. So, this column will present the development concepts of some settlements together with their theoretical background which targets the future fulfillment of the idea of creative cities.
