What is UNDP

Over the last few years, the making of the creative cities has received much attention in both the research community and actual city development. There are different approaches that contribute to such making including those focus on the creative industries (culture, arts, etc.), the creative class, the place of creative city-making ‘Creative Milieu', and others. Following a theoretical approach, this chapter discusses the role of sustainable urban mobility (SUM) in stimulating creativity within the context of the creative milieu. The main question is: How does SUM foster creativity, particularly the non-motorized transport (NMT)? First, the chapter frames the discussion around the challenge of people's mobility and sets out the factors associated with urban mobility behavior. Then, it focuses on the significant contribution of attitudinal factors in the making of creative cities. Finally, it highlights some of the global best practices that have fostered creativity through SUM and suggests the best Egyptian cities that could be successful for establishing future creative cities.
