Exploring the Characteristics of the Creativity in Metropolitan Areas of Developed and Developing Countries

Abstract

A social environment that is open to all kinds of creativity and diversity, and attractive art and cultural areas, makes metropolitan areas successful in attracting creative people and thereby promoting economic growth. This study examines metropolitan areas in developing countries and developed countries in terms of talent, technology, tolerance, and creative professions, and also analyzes the creative class characteristics that best explain the creativity of different metropolitan areas. Using a literature review, the concepts of creativity are identified, and the characteristics of metropolitan areas at different socio-economic levels are analyzed in detail by comparing them with quantitative research methods. As a result, metropolitan areas in developed countries stand out in terms of talent, technology, and tolerance in creativity, while metropolitan areas in developing countries are effective in terms of lifestyle and originality.
