The research considers the creative potential of the city as an intangible development resource of this kind. The study aims to analyze the significant aspects and identify the mechanisms that are promising for cities to develop their creative potential in the context of digital transformations. The author analyzes several cases, numerous program and strategic documents, reports, and publications, paying particular attention to the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global crisis demonstrated that organizations in the creative sector are highly vulnerable and need substantial government support. However, it also contributed to the creation of innovative products, gave impetus to the emergence of new forms of self-organization, and tailored support measures coined by the city administrations. The crisis also highlighted the crucial role of ICT tools and digital strategies in the survival and competitiveness of many organizations from the cultural and creative sectors. In this context, and considering the key industry trends, the article discusses possible points of growth and promising formats of interaction between the industry and the city administrations. In conclusion, the author suggests specific tools significant for the development of the industry, such as digital development strategies, as well as organizational practices that can contribute to the realization of the creative potential of the city.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В условиях ограниченности ресурсов и множественности кризисов, социально-политической напряженности, дисбалансов развития и других вызовов, для городов и городской политики особую актуальность приобретает поиск новых ресурсов развития и разработки стратегий и программ по их наращиванию и реализации. В качестве такого рода нематериального ресурса развития рассматривается креативный потенциал города. Цель исследования - проанализировать значимые аспекты и выявить механизмы, перспективные для городской политики развития креативного потенциала учреждений культуры и креативных индустрий, релевантные в контексте процессов цифровой трансформации. Использованы методы изучения кейсов, анализа стратегических и программных документов, отчетов о работе городских администраций, СМИ. Отдельное внимание уделено периоду пандемии, который продемонстрировал значительную уязвимость сферы культуры и креативных индустрий высокий уровень ее потребности в государственной поддержке, однако также способствовал созданию инновационных продуктов, возникновению новых форм самоорганизации участников отрасли и разработке целевых мер поддержки со стороны городских властей. Сделаны выводы о значимых для развития отрасли инструментах, таких как стратегии цифрового развития, представлены предложения по конкретным управленческим и организационным практикам, способным содействовать реализации креативного потенциала города.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>city</kwd><kwd>identity</kwd><kwd>intangible development resources</kwd><kwd>information and communication technologies</kwd><kwd>culture &amp; creative industries</kwd><kwd>innovation</kwd><kwd>development policy</kwd><kwd>support measures</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>город</kwd><kwd>идентичность</kwd><kwd>нематериальные ресурсы развития</kwd><kwd>информационно-коммуникационные технологии</kwd><kwd>культура и креативные индустрии</kwd><kwd>инновации</kwd><kwd>политика развития</kwd><kwd>меры поддержки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bauman, Z.
