abstract: In urban development policy over the past fifteen to twenty years there has been an increasing focus on creativity as a development strategy.  A deeper understanding is sought of how policy makers are inspired during the process of composing a plan through the lens of the 2018 European capital of culture Leeuwarden. A combination of critical discourse analysis and semi-structured interviews is used to find out how theory is reflected into  strategic elements of Leeuwarden’s application form which was used to apply for the title of Cultural Capital of Europe, the bidbook, and what the inspiration has been for adapting and or adopting these reflections of theory. Insights in how the creative city discourse influences political and spatial decision making are necesarry since little is known about this relationship. Externalities of creative policies are often credited to creative city thinking, this study shows that that is a is premature thought.
