Abstract This paper explores and theorizes a space for creativity in further developing the ambient urbanizing concept in the context of smart cities. Theoretically this work is situated at the intersection of urbanizing the ambient, creativity, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the Internet of People (IoP) in relation to smart cities. The research design for this work incorporates an exploratory case study approach and multiple methods of data collection including survey and in-depth interviews. Group and individual discussions were also conducted with people from a range of sectors across the city. This work is significant in that it: (a) extends earlier work on urbanizing the ambient and the importance of people in smart cities; (b) sheds light on creativity in a digital context, enabled by the IoT and the emerging space of the IoP; (c) fosters increased accessibility to aware technologies such as the IoT through more aware people and the IoP; and (d) advances the concept of a more emergent, dynamic, and adaptive conceptualization of creativity, as in, ambient creativity.
