The paper investigates the role of design as mediator in between culture, creativity, industry and top down policies. In that respect, it is responsible for enabling the creation of CCI ecosystems, overcoming the traditional antagonism between culture and economy, creativity and industry. After defining the CCI phenomenon on a European scale, the contribution tries to describe how design is part of the CCI phenomenon but its nature does not belong neither to culture or creative nor industry, but at the intersection of the two, thanks to its ability of integrating different knowledge and interests within the production processes, multiplying values. Through the description of various creative ecosystem models, the paper aims to establish the interactive role of design processes, practices and design cultures in the creation of these CCI systems within the Smart Specialization Strategy (S3), to enhance the cultural and creative vibrancy and metabolism in cities. |
