Abstract:
This chapter addresses the main epistemological and methodological challenges involved in defining and measuring creativity at the regional level. By conceptualising creativity as an economic, social, and symbolic resource, it critically examines simplistic indicators and dominant narratives. The chapter provides conceptual criteria and analytical tools for a more rigorous and contextualised interpretation, contributing to a more responsible use of the concept in research and policy design.
