L’articolo analizza il ruolo della creatività nelle dinamiche di sviluppo urbano e nei movimenti sociali di Amburgo. In particolare vengono discussi tre ‘mega-progetti’, l’Expo per costruzioni Iba, la Hafen City e la riqualificazione del Gängeviertel, ponendo l’attenzione su come il concetto di creatività venga utilizzato dal governo cittadino come strumento per la crescita economica urbana. Le reazioni a tale strategia da parte dei movimenti urbani, riuniti nella lefebvriana coalizione ‘Diritto alla città’, sono multiformi. Mentre alcuni gruppi rifiutano il discorso della creatività in quanto strutturalmente legato a logiche di profitto, altri lo utilizzano a loro volta per conquistare e difendere ‘spaces of hope’. Mettendo in mostra le contraddizioni insite nel concetto di creatività, l’articolo evidenzia quindi il potenziale e i rischi connessi ad entrambe le strategie
