| Sumario: | The model of creative cities that has been practiced around the world is one of the responses to the crisis of industrial capitalism in the face of the process of productive restructuring that has shaken traditional economic foundations. The Fourth Industrial Revolution highlighted the amplification of the market under the auspices of the neoliberal regime and the cultural industry, enhancing the model, with significant impacts on the expansion of socio-spatial inequalities. This article aims to demonstrate that, in parallel to such hegemonic processes in the creative cities agenda, it is possible to find other processes that contest their modus operandi and that reinforce the emergence of other values in the intertwining of community interests as opposed to the exclusively privatist interests of the market. It is argued that the ideas and tools for building commons can enable another formulation of the role of culture and creativity in city planning. To this end, the article weaves a trajectory of the implementation of an urban park in the city of São Paulo, Parque Augusta, which had the direct participation of several civil society organizations in its implementation. As a structural theoretical basis, the article starts from the argument that the social forces that came together in defense of the park are inserted within the scope of the Common, as well as in many other processes that have already been reported in the literature, repositioning the paradigm of creative cities. Using a historiographic method based on documentary sources and the triangulation of data obtained, the narrative was constructed chronologically, considering, through the evidence presented by the documentation, how the organization of the collectives and the activities carried out in the space reversed the process of privatization that was underway on the land. |
