Busan has been now developed by the intended pursuit of its congestion through rapid growth, whereupon installing a minimum infrastructure and securing dwelling spaces became the core of its development. It has accordingly became a heartless city where there natural living spaces are rarely seen with the overcrowding, the traffic jams, the stuffy air, and the concentrated high-rise apartment buildings. The concept 'creative city' was raised by the increased interest in the quality of life and chosen as an alternative of the reflection on the existing city development. In this study I explained its concept through the theoretical considering of it and examined the creative city policies of Yokohama of Japan that is as big as Busan. This helped me to seek what suggestions it has as a policy for the development of Busan. Many examples proved that Yokohama city was improving its competence creatively by increasing the cultural facilities and organizations the citizens could use and making them voluntarily take part in culture, industry, welfare, environment, and so on. They also revealed that the Japanese city was planning to develop itself by connecting citizens, local companies, and local governments to one another over the network. It is resulted from the examination of the examples that Busan will have to plan its development based in the cultural centered, creative city by cultivating its unique culture and emphasizing more sustainable growth. I think that 'creative city' has to be understood not as a fixed goal but as a concept of process and policies about creative space, creative culture, and creative industry that creative citizens can sail into and live in have to be sought.
