Creativity.....

Where does our Creativity come from?

How can we learn about Creativity ?

How should we be Creative ?

The key theme 

We have a Creator! Our Creativity comes from him because we were made in his image, and we were brought into being to live and work in partnership with him. 

Understanding our creativity thus begins by understanding our Creator, and the way to be truly creative and fulfil our potential is to learn from him: how he evolved Creation, and how to do Creativity his way. That's why this website and e-book are called "Creator, Creation & Creativity". 

You can explore the theme in three ways:

• in outline by scrolling down to the FREE e-book "Creator, Creation and Creativity"
• in detail via the "In Depth" Page, where the FREE e-book "No Lasting City" applies this understanding of creativity to architecture, urban design, and town planning; 
• and by finding other helpful websites and books via the "Links" and "Books" pages.

NEW pages are being developed : 

• "Creation Quotes" including COP 28 quotes and references
• "Creativity Quotes".
