Over the last decade, creative industries have received increasing attention in urban development studies. As a starting point, the article proposes a critical analysis of some usual concepts and perspectives, to clarify the meaning of the creative economy in urban development. On this basis, we analyze the creative sectors in Spain, both from the point of view of their importance in urban economy and of the spatial logic that determines its territorial distribution. The study considers two spatial scales: one, it focuses on the urban system, with reference to the urban areas defined by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (Ministerio de Fomento); and two, it carries out a comparative analysis, at a metropolitan level, between Madrid and Barcelona. The use of both perspectives allows us to offer a more nuanced vision of the habitual reference to the spatial concentration of these activities and propose new perspectives for future research.Í
