Title: Empowerment of Locality and Creativity: The Effect towards Bandung Creative City As modernity with all rigidity and practically increasingly creeping, the locality was still elegant with its charm. Localities seems to be a special allure which become healer of longing of the past. Everything related to tradition inspires architects and city planners. Creative design certainly has allure for residents, local and non local tourists. Bandung is the city wellknown as Paris Van Java, which has consequence to the arrangement of the infrastucture and face of the city with strong identity of exquisite Sundanese culture. These opportunities would require creativity which offer uniqueness and special identity of Bandung. The study of city arrangement, planning stategy towards creative city, and sustainable strategy would be essential to realize the Bandung Creative City. The study was conducted by observing Bandung infrastucture at some central points in the heritage building until face of the city, and how the goverment‘s strategy to overcome this problem, related to creativity. The result shows that efforts to Bandung Creative City is done through empowerment of ?creative economy‘ in fashion, culinary, and design decorate city faces up to hilly region. Creative city allows the achivement of community prosperity and economically independence. Furthermore, through ?Bandung Creative City‘ program, the impact is not only to the creative city but also to a ‘smart city‘ which is done the following strategies: innovation, decentralization, and collaboration.

As urban renewal agendas are fortified in cities globally, ‘creativity’ – as contained within discourses of the creative industries, the Creative City and the creative economy – is circulated as the currency of secure post-industrial urban futures. Using the nexus between creativity and the urban as a starting point, the authors investigate how local enterprises visually communicate the urban in a neighbourhood that is characterized by the interface between manufacturing and creative industries. This research takes a fine-grained approach to the notion of creativity through an audit and qualitative analysis of the visual presentation, material attributes and semiotic meaning of street numbers. The authors do this by collecting data on and analysing how street numbers have been made, selected, used, replaced and layered in a contested industrial precinct in Australia’s largest city, Sydney. They contend that street numbers, as a ubiquitous technology within the city that is both operational and creative, are metonyms for what they understand to be urban. In arguing for vernacular readings of the city, they make use of a top-down, governmental mode of reading the city – the operational legibility of street numbering – as an intervention in current discourses of the urban and of creativity in the city.

This article aims to advance the literature on policy mobility by decentring the primacy of mobility itself and focusing on understanding what cities do in order to ‘arrive at’ localized versions of urban policy in relation to globally circulating ideas around creativity. The paper explores the performance of a particular local ‘creative economy’ in terms of institutional and strategic adjustments, key drivers and individuals and events, and the role of long-term local, national and international influences on ‘creative cityness’. It does this through an analysis of cultural and creativity policy and local stakeholders in the cultural policy scene in Gdańsk, Poland, focusing on the local performative aspects of mobile policies and arguing the need to understand the formation of a ‘common local project’ as a form of intra-urban connectedness alongside inter-urban connectedness. The paper extends the range of contexts in which the ‘creative city’ has been analysed to include post-socialist, post-European Union accession Central and Eastern Europe, thus making an original contribution by studying these issues in the context of the complex multi-scalar relations between the city, national government and the supranational European Union and the ideological conflict between national authoritarian neoliberalism and urban and supranational scale (neo-)liberalism.

Smart technologies are advancing, and smart cities can be made smarter by increasing the connectivity and interactions of humans, the environment, and smart devices. This paper discusses selective technologies that can potentially contribute to developing an intelligent environment and smarter cities. While the connectivity and efficiency of smart cities is important, the analysis of the impact of construction development and large projects in the city is crucial to decision and policy makers, before the project is approved. This raises the question of assessing the impact of a new infrastructure project on the community prior to its commencement—what type of technologies can potentially be used for creating a virtual representation of the city? How can a smart city be improved by utilizing these technologies? There are a wide range of technologies and applications available but understanding their function, interoperability, and compatibility with the community requires more discussion around system designs and architecture. These questions can be the basis of developing an agenda for further investigations. In particular, the need for advanced tools such as mobile scanners, Geospatial Artificial Intelligence, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Geospatial Augmented Reality apps, Light Detection, and Ranging in smart cities is discussed. In line with smart city technology development, this Special Issue includes eight accepted articles covering trending topics, which are briefly reviewed.

A smart city can be defined as a city exploiting information and communication technologies to enhance the quality of life of its citizens by providing them with improved services while ensuring a conscious use of the available limited resources. This paper introduces a conceptual framework for the smart city, namely, the Smart City Service System. The framework proposes a vision of the smart city as a service system according to the principles of the Service-Dominant Logic and the service science theories. The rationale is that the services offered within the city can be improved and optimized via the exploitation of information shared by the citizens. The Smart City Service System is implemented as an ontology-based system that supports the decision-making processes at the government level through reasoning and inference processes, providing the decision-makers with a common operational picture of what is happening in the city. A case study related to the local public transportation service is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the framework. An experimental evaluation using the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT) has been performed to measure the impact of the framework on the decision-makers’ level of situation awareness.

The city of Johannesburg offers insights into urban governance and the interesting interplay between managing the pressures in a rapidly urbanizing context, with the political imperatives that are enduring challenges. The metropolitan municipality of Johannesburg (hereafter Johannesburg), as it is known today, represents one of the most diverse cities in the African continent. That urbanization, however, came up hard against the power of the past. Areas zoned by race had been carved into the landscape, with natural and manufactured boundaries to keep formerly white areas ‘safe’ from those zoned for other races. Highways, light industrial plant, rivers and streams, all combined to ensure the Johannesburg landscape are spatially disfigured, and precisely because it is built into the landscape, the impact of apartheid has proved remarkably durable. Urban growth is concentrated in Johannesburg’s townships and much of it is class driven: the middle class (of all races) is increasingly being found in cluster and complexes in the north Johannesburg, while poor and working-class African and coloured communities in particular are densifying in the south. The racial and spatial divisions of the city continue to pose fundamental challenges in terms of governance, fiscal management and spatially driven service delivery.

While statistical information on certain sectors of the British theatre is slowly becoming available – notably from the Arts Council and the Society of West End Theatre, as also from researchers in the Department of Arts Administration at the City University – few attempts have yet been made to draw useful conclusions from these figures, or to deduce how they might be helpful in terms of forward-planning and projections. In the following article. Paul Huntington examines the relationship between theatre revenue and total consumer expenditure, in the context of published figures which illustrate the changing national economic picture of the past decade. He examines not only the way in which these figures tend, naturally enough, to confirm certain expectations – for example, concerning the impact of tourism on the theatre – but also less expected findings, such as the relative upsurge in the fortunes of the regional theatres at a time of slump in the commercial sector of the West End.

<div><p class="AbstractEnglish">Currently, Pekalongan City is known as the city of batik. The recognition is both at national and international levels whereas Pekalongan has been acknowledged as a world creative city based on the art and culture of batik. Batik is an essential commodity in Indonesian creative industries and has been the major commodity of Pekalongan. Batik industry is also capable of creating an inter-business association like the <em>canting</em> making business and fabric dyes business. As a city of batik, Pekalongan is prepared as a tourist destination through the availability of Batik Museum and two centers of batik craftsmen. The attraction has been increasing because tourists do not only see the process but can practice on how to make batik along with the batik craftsmen and interact with the related tools and materials, and this is known as creative tourism. The impact of the creative tourism can become one of the efforts to the local economic development of Pekalongan because it has been able to make linkages between sectors in tourism and batik industry.</p></div>

In the last decade, new policy initiatives emerged in Latin America as a response to the rise of a ‘creative turn’ in the global North. This article examines the impact of such turn on urban cultural policies for informal settlements in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focusing on the case of ‘Favela Criativa’ – a governmental programme to support young people’s cultural and creative work across favelas. The analysis reveals that the programme has effectively widened the visibility of favelas’ cultural and creative work, increased financial public support and developed practical strategies for working with informality. However, it also raises questions about the extent to which this innovative policy development actually challenges prevalent managerial views of creativity guided by a market logic. The article demonstrates that a focus on informality as groundwork for political resistance in the city can expand our understanding of the creative economy beyond precarization, self-exploitation and individualization.

Based on historical-genetic and comparative research methods, the article reveals the determinants of formation and development of the city commemorative culture. This issue is relevant because of the increasing influence of the memory of the past on modern sociocultural processes. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study of poorly studied issues of the impact of commemorative culture on the development of culture in general; the opportunities of regulating the nature and distribution of memorial forms; the factors determining the formation of the city commemorative culture in the context of the historical and sociocultural dynamics of applicable societies of the civilizations of the past and present. The article uses an integrated approach, which determines the interdisciplinary nature of scientific research, allowing analyzing the aspects of the origin, interpretation of the features of the history and existence of monuments in different cultures. There are provided examples of commemoration practices in the post-Soviet countries, including the Republic of Belarus. The article concludes that the content of commemorative culture is determined primarily by religious traditions and state priorities. The creation of monuments and places of memory is used as an agitation and manipulative resource making an emotional impact; as an ideological tool shaping the perception of history in accordance with the state ideology. Commemorative practices take on special significance during the formation of nations, influencing the subject’s identification with the nation, and the awareness of national solidity. In this case, the monument represents a universal form of embodying and conveying the national idea.

Background  Little is said about the influence of cybernetics on the architectural practices and theories of the past fifty years. Yet, from the discourses of the experimental architecture of the 1960s and 1970s, to those of the most advanced advocates of digital design, the terms and key themes of cybernetics keep coming back.Analysis  Focusing on the first attempts to apply cybernetics to architecture, then to the themes of the network, cyborg and cyberspace, and finally to the biological turn of the architecture of the 2000s, this article shows the prevalence of notions of the interactivity, adaptability, reflexivity, sensitivity and intelligence of architecture and the city in architects’ discourses.Conclusion and Implications  Architects have never stopped working on these cybernetics notions. Moreover, the latter are culminating today in the theme of the smart city.RÉSUMÉContexte  L’on parle peu de l’influence de la cybernétique sur les pratiques et théories architecturales de ces cinquante dernières années. Pourtant, depuis les discours de l’architecture expérimentale des années 1960-1970 jusqu’à ceux de la conception numérique la plus avant-gardiste, les termes et thèmes phares de la cybernétique sont bien présents.Analyse  À travers l’étude des premières tentatives d’application de la cybernétique à l’architecture, des thèmes du réseau, du cyborg et du cyberespace et enfin du tournant biologique de l’architecture des années 2000, cet article montre la prégnance des notions d’interactivité, d’adaptabilité, de réflexivité, de sensibilité et d’intelligence de l’architecture et de la ville dans les discours des architectes.Conclusion et implications  Ces notions, issues de la cybernétique, ont ainsi beaucoup nourri les architectes. Plus encore, elles atteignent aujourd’hui un point d’orgue à travers le thème de la smart city.
