Summary
This study examines the emergence and development of scientific terminology that relates culture to business in so-called cultural and creative industries and their specific characteristics. The author analyses the theoretical concepts of various scientists (some of them from Bulgaria) regarding the interpretation of specific terminology related to the effect of creative economies on the sustainable development of modern communities. The paper provides an algorithm of activities and feasible solutions for the implementation of the concept of creative cities in Bulgaria. It supports the idea that, in the current period of economic crisis and a highly dynamic and competitive environment, municipalities have to adopt a new governing approach that provides for the development of creative and cultural industries. Best practice has shown that the concept of creative cities would accelerate their economic growth. Most Bulgarian municipalities need to develop new strategic documents that prioritise the creative industries and provide incentives for their support by local authorities also aiming to solve various social problems.
