Abstract

In the postmodern era, cultural economy plays an important role in economic development of cities across the world. The considerable role of cultural economy factors in economic revolution plans of cities verifies this claim. This is why in the 21th century, attracting elites and creative capabilities are the most important tools by which cities achieve economic growth and development.
This study is a descriptive-analytical research in which the newest methods of content analysis have been used. The most important factors that have been studied at the present study include the role of cultural economics in exploring the cities, theoretical history of creative class, the concept of creative class theory and creative city, the elements of creative city theory, the elements of creative city, opponents and critics’ viewpoints about creative class theory, and the characteristics of two operational examples or creative cities including Melbourne and Toronto.
The results of this study revealed that attracting elites results in creativity, innovation, and economic development of cities. Finally, this results in cultural exploring of cities. The focus of creative city theory is issues such as technology and competency. In today’s competitive world, the cities with more diversity will be able to attract elites. This means that the cities with open cultural and multi-national climate can attract more elites and then develop and improve their economic conditions
