摘要:The main goal of this article is to reflect upon the relationship between creativity and urban transformation. it stems from the assumption that creativity has a paradoxical nature as it is simultaneously used for the production of the neoliberal city and by those seeking to challenge it and build alternative urban realities. first, we put forth a critical review of the creative city narrative, focused on richard florida’s work, as it progressively became fundamental for the neoliberal city. afterwards, and contrasting with that dominant narrative, we describe a trajectory of Reclaim the Streets that provides the basis for our discussion of the protestival (protest carnival) as its main creative force of urban transformation.
