Marcus Willcocks: London Urban Creativity

Chapter in Kognitif (2014) Urban Creativity Experience, Lemo Editorial, Gustavo Gili, Madrid.

Welcome back to the incredible world of urban creativity! A world in which everything is possible, in which expressions of every narrative, discipline, technique and possible message for the free enjoyment of the citizen never cease to surface; a world in which architecture, urbanism, design, as well as fine arts, scenography, sculpture, plus musical, literary, gastronomic and ecological arts are combined in a constant dialogue, contributing in the construction of what we understand as contemporary urban culture.

The book wants to put in value those individuals (those warriors of urban creativity) whose main objective is to destroy all the barriers that prevent the reappropriation of public space: curators, designers, architects, managers, festival organizers, promoters and artists explain their perception of how their cities live urban creativity, what attitude they have, how culture behaves and how the public receives it.
From Toronto to Tudela de Navarra, through Beijing, Barcelona or London, we will discover experiences of urban creativity as different and evocative as the cities where they are born.
