Creative neighbourhoods are the subject of increased discussions and concerns, both in the academic and the professional communities, having various cultural, social, economic, and policy implications. Nevertheless, the theorising in the field is at the beginning. Various interdisciplinary approaches highlight especially social, economic, and urban implications. The study aims to investigate the dynamic of creative neighbourhoods in Romania to understand which are the factors leading to success stories both for the creative communities and for urban development. The dynamics associated with the local administrations in two main Romanian cities are explored: Bucharest and Cluj. The findings are shading lights on the inner dynamics of creative communities in creative neighbourhoods in relationship with public administration for better cooperation.
