In the face of severe political, economic and environmental crises at the urban level, cities have been seen in recent decades not only as the place where these problems are created, but also as the location where they could be solved. This construction of cities as sites of both crisis and opportunity is related, at least partly, to the work of urban experts, transnational organizations, professional networks, and local agencies taking part in developing and connecting cities with 'big ideas' like Resilient Cities, Smart Cities and Creative Cities. To examine the making of such ideas, this dissertation develops the theoretical model of the Urban Knowledge Making Triangle, joining together three different units of analysis - Ideas, Cities, and Agents. The triangle calls to investigate how the 'same' idea varies over time and across places, how cities use the idea to depoliticize and re-politicize local struggles, and how human agents connect cities with the idea. To demonstrate the approach, I focus on the Creative City paradigm, which describes the shift that cities took when adjusting their economic industrial base to the information age. It also offers a formula to recover from the urban decline that many cities experienced during post-industrialization. The Creative City long-life cycle and flexible formula which is applicable to cities of different sizes and geography, make its local translations vary extensively. I use fieldwork methods to examine the making of the Creative City in Jerusalem and Toronto and the role of Richard Florida in connecting the two cities with the idea; I also use Structural Topic Modelling to draw the broader contours of arts and culture discourses using a policy corpus of the largest 26 cities in the Anglo-Saxon world. The findings demonstrate the dialectic relationship between the construction of cities as sites of crises and as sites of opportunities.
