| סיכום: | The paper analyses the European concept of creative cities, generalizing the concept of creative territories, in a new context under three aspects: it deals with creative territories in Latin America, discusses creativity in the context of a metropolitan region and its surrounding areas (ciudad region) and examines creativity in the context of local development politics. More specifically, a creative approach of local development politics in the territory of the Metropolitan District Quito (Ecuador) is proposed. The paper determines the elements of the communal politics that facilitate the manifestations of the creative territories, shown in specific indicators, so to guide the analysis of the ability of territories to implement creative programs. In order to get this aim, this paper analyzes a series of experiments on a practical level, to contrast a series of indicators that link aspects of territory and innovation. In particular, authors study the case of Quito (Ecuador), with the idea of discovering the concepts and progress on managing the complexity of urban development and the need of the community institutional development, focusing on municipal policies on land use, innovation and smart cities. The findings of the study suggest that the experiences of Quito discuss indicators allow for a paradigm newly formulated: a new culture of local politics. |
