This book offers a critical review of the theoretical concepts linking artists to urban development, emphasizing the complex interactions between artists and cities and their effects on urban spaces. It argues for a nuanced understanding of the diverse roles artistic creatives play in urban transformations, presenting contributions that define artists as a distinct professional and social group. The essays delve into the complexity of artists’ spatial preferences and examine their presence in urban centers across various geographic, political, economic, social, and spatial contexts, drawing on experiences from 16 European cities. Case studies span from Spain to Russia and Scandinavia to Slovenia, providing new insights into the implications of artists’ residency and activities in contemporary urban settings. The volume highlights less obvious forms of artists’ involvement in urban transformations, such as participation in urban planning and grassroots movements, while also exploring the ambivalence of their interactions with cities. Specific chapters investigate divergent narratives of artists as catalysts for urban change, pioneers of gentrification, opponents of neoliberal policies, or as indicators of transformations driven by other actors, often used by public and private stakeholders.
