Abstract

This essay insists on the importance of a point view of consumption for the argument of creativity of a city and has examined the relationship between a creative milieu and a consumer's creativity which is displayed mainly in expressions in an urban culture space. As a result, it is shown that urban culture spaces having ‘creative’ culture capital which orientates participating consumers' activities towards creative ones is one condition for such creativity to contribute to the formation of a creative milieu, and conversely that the meanings that a consumer's creativity produces contribute to the maintenance and renewal of such ‘creative’ culture capital.
