Since 2015, Bandung City has been designated as a part of UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The designation heralds a notion that Bandung City has become a creative city that is internationally acknowledged. To further assert it’s position as a creative city, Bandung City needs to take several planning efforts in order to develop it’s creative sector. There are certain preconditions for city to be worthily named as a creative city. One of them is the availability of supporting infrastructures in the form of creative spaces that can accommodate creative activities. In the end of 2017, Bandung City Government established Bandung Creative Hub as a means to fulfill that precondition. Even before that, there are other creative spaces in Bandung City that are initiated by non-governmental parties, including Spasial which is an independent initiative of the people. <br /> <br /> <br /> Both Bandung Creative Hub and Spasial have their own role within the context of Bandung City’s development as a creative city. This study aims to identify those roles by identifying conformity with criteria, potentials and problems, and contributions of the two creative spaces. Through primary data collection methods such as direct observation to study area and interview with key stakeholders, and secondary data collection methods such as literature review, a set of data will be gathered and then analyzed using analysis methods such as content, coding, descriptive qualitative, and SWOT analysis. <br /> <br /> <br /> The results of the analysis shows that both study areas have their own achievements in terms of criteria conformity, potentials and problems in both internal and external aspects, and contributions through each one’s unique ways of approach within the context of creative city development. The findings obtained in analysis is presented descriptive-qualiltatively in the forms of diagrams and tables, and also categorizen in a SWOT matrix. After being arranged, findings from both study areas are juxtaposed for comparation. The synthesis that is gained is that both Bandung Creative Hub and Spasial have their own unique roles as a creative space, yet the two are still intertwined in one scarlet thread: an endeavor in the development of a creative city. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Keywords: creative city, creative space, creative activity, Bandung Creative Hub, Spasial.
