Creative and cultural industries are a part of creative cities and have a positive impact on creative economy, generating employment and opportunities for creative class. Creativity and innovation of creative class, stakeholders' activities and cultural policies have an impact on sustainable development of cities. Creative quarter is a place of cultural activity and its a part of city's identity and brand. Creative cities together with their creative quarters are places of intercultural dialogue, openness, diversity and tolerance. That is the reason why European cities base their development on culture and creativity through implementation of European Union's and UNESCO's programmes and projects, and local initiatives such as Creative Cities Network of Croatia. Networking of cultural and creative cities is important for sharing good practices and exchange of experience, knowledge and resources. Through cooperation cities deal with urban problems and increase their visibility and attractiveness. It is important to emphasize that the first step towards the development of city's cultural strategy is its cultural mapping which shows the existing and potential cultural resources. That is why the case study shows a connection between cultural mapping and creative cities.
