Are there any models on creativity? Not creativity in a utilitarian way, like innovation, but creativity, just a theory of how creativity exists.
Different factors are studied with ABM (transport, land use, residential segregation) and the authors found that there is a trade-off between economic progress and socioeconomic equity. Is Creativity elitist? #FullRead
- creative urban environments
- mixed land-use and population density
- affordable urban and regional mobility
- high levels of societal tolerance.
Notes:
"... the starting point for theory building is establishing relevant stylised facts"

- "... provides the intellectual platform underlying the ... approach..."§
- § 2.1 - "... maximize the benefits of agglomeration by reducing the inefficiencies caused by congestion."
- § 2.2 - a notion of 'creativity' conceptualises the relationship between urban morphology and economic productivity ...
- §2.4 "doubling the employment density (jobs per unit area) is associated with 2-6 percent rise in productivity". "high density of interactions is associated with high levels of economic productivity" (potential connection with imperfect information and in-person interactions)
- §2.6 Innovation <- in-person interactions. Tension between Centrifugal (causing sprawl) and centripetal (-> density).
- §2.8 "observe global phenomena through local-level interactions"
- §3.2 "Axtell and Epstein (1994) classify ABMs from "level 0" types that broadly caricature real-world agent behavior to "level 3" where they are in quantitative agreement with both the macro- and "micro-structures" of the target system."

Like so many other properties of life, measuring creativity needs indicies:
