    Summary note
    This book provides an important contribution on the links between urban planning and other types of organizing work performed in the name of the 'creative city'. Further, it also highlights the daunting challenges associated with attempting to realize highly ambitious ideals of decentralized co-creation, empowering a plethora of heterogeneous actors, in a manner that does not sell short democratic transparency and accountability.
