Journal Article 2021 09 30 It is necessary to move towards creating and realizing a creative city because a city is a place for shaping society's platforms for wisdom, and cities are underlying factors for economic development. components and indicators of this theory can be used to achieve economic, social, cultural, and spatial growth and prosperity. Therefore, the present study aims to review the theoretical literature on the creative city concept identifying components and indicators of the creative city. For this purpose, relevant references were analyzed through a systematic technique. The keywords “creative city” and “urban creativity” were searched among references’ titles, and 58 papers were retrieved from "ScienceDirect" and "Google Scholar" databases. Finally, five social-cultural, economic, environmental, institutional-governance, and functional-spatial dimensions were extracted, comprehended, and classified into 15 components and 134 indicators. The most important indicators in urban development from the viewpoint of creative city include cultural tourism, social capitals, and cultural-social diversity (social and cultural dimension); economic tourism, urban entrepreneurship, and innovation and creative industries (economic dimension); creative governance, integrated management, public participation (institutional-governance dimensions); green urban network and climate quality (environmental dimensions); attention to physical identity, architecture, vernacular urbanism, recreation, and urban branding (spatial-physical dimension). Ultimately, a creative city model was proposed with different conceptual layers, requirements, and implications. The novel aspect of the study was a systematic review of creative city literature by identifying and synthesizing newly available studies and using the PRISMA1 statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses).
