“…Taking into account that two key concepts are included in virtually every definition of creativity, novelty and value [23], we could assert that nowadays creativity is striving to become a quality the cities need, even more so at the level of metropolis-cities. The current situation of the creative industries in Bucharest reflects the general economic changes introduced by the phenomenon of globalization in a former communist country, explaining the particularities in which these activities progressed in a city where the dynamic and innovative activities are important for its development.…”

The study is presenting a model of strategic approach of creative industries development in the Old City of Bucharest and more specifically, in the street called Strada Franceză (the French Street), having as purpose the diminution of visual pollution in the area. Among a wide range of parameters used in the interpretation of visual pollution, the analysis focuses on the condition of the abandoned buildings, as a whole or just partially. By using a complex methodology including various analysis criteria in relation with the history of the area, the legislative context, the spatial planning policies and the current socio-economic profile, two potential areas that hold resources for the development of creative industries are proposed for intervention. Forwards, a model of development strategy was shaped, together with the project stages that should be considered in order to achieve the objective of changing Strada Franceză into an important creative area of Bucharest's Old City, thus leading to a reduction of the visual pollution.

“…Also the impact of changes of the radius that individuals take into account in their search is considered. An agent-base model which focuses on the interplay of learning through social interaction, creativity and location decision of workers is developed in [95]. It is analyzed how specialization between regions and the agglomeration of creative activity is influenced by different aspects like the educational system or migration incentives.…”

Agent Based Modeling (ABM) has become a widespread approach to model complex interactions. In this chapter after briefly summarizing some features of ABM the different approaches in modeling spatial interactions are discussed. It is stressed that agents can interact either indirectly through a shared environment and/or directly with each other. In such an approach, higherorder variables such as commodity prices, population dynamics or even institutions, are not exogenously specified but instead are seen as the results of interactions. It is highlighted in the chapter that the understanding of patterns emerging from such spatial interaction between agents is a key problem as much as their description through analytical or simulation means.
