  • Abstract:

    This chapter explores the relationship between creativity and regional well-being using advanced causal analysis methods. The study shows that the effects of creative industries extend beyond economic growth and affect, unevenly, dimensions such as education, housing, health, and life satisfaction. The findings highlight the need to interpret territories as complex systems when analysing creativity-based development strategies.
