Creativity as a Driver in Social Innovation Processes.

The value of culture and creativity in the development processes of post-industrial economies is internationally recognised and plays a decisive role for growth, competitiveness, sustainable development, innovation, employment, social cohesion, the sense of belonging and the spread of shared values. This takes the form of urban regeneration that become spaces in social aggregators, but also in social innovation practices as events, collaborative and aggregative projects, which provide contents and new meanings to territories that are often "unidentified" and "disidentifying", creating opportunities for relationships and networks between social actors, who in turn are bearers and propagators of new values and identities.
