Abstract
Charles Landry and Richard Florida have argued creative city theories since the 1990s. Municipal governments all over the world believe the possibilities of the creative city model and initiate various creative city policies recently. However, current European and American urban studies have explored the relationships between creative cities and neo-liberalism, according to the theory of "entrepreneurial city" by David Harvey. This paper follows the critical perspectives proposed by the studies and explores the politico-economical background of creative cities.
