Every city seems to have at least some ambition linked to creativity. It may be expressed as the creative class, innovation, the creative industries or the creative city. Colin Jackson who runs in Calgary has been wrestling with these concepts as he considers a major new expansion. We'll talk to Colin about the role a center like his can play as the nexus of creativity for its community.

And we'll catch up with Bill Lennertz about the maturing role charrettes are playing in the planning and design of communities. Bill is co-founder of the National Charrette Institute, where he is also a lead facilitator and trainer.

That's this week on Smart City.
