Title: Creative Atmosphere: Cultural Industries and Local Development 
Abstract: The aim of the paper is to develop an analytical framework for understanding and measuring the
impact of cultural industries and creative activities in local development. Despite the great debate on
the importance of cultural and creative industries in policy, academic and business circles, we still
lack a grounded theoretical model to understand how these activities contributes to local development
and how far enhancement of culture-based creativity may be linked to certain social and economic
configurations in these industries. In order to better understand the role of cultural industries in local
development we propose a novel framework, which tries to depict the main actors and structure of
local systems of cultural production and under what conditions such systems are able to generate and
express creative atmosphere
