Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to clarify the relationships among creative classes (CCs), social business (SB) and the multi-functionality of urban agriculture (MFUA) in Tokyo and Shanghai, the two global cities of Asia. Specifically, structural equation modeling (SEM) is introduced to the results of authors’ original questionnaire survey targeting the residents in the two cities. As for the creative class (CC) in this chapter, we also pay attention to the people of creative thinking besides of creative occupations. Their orientation toward multi-functionality of agriculture and their relationships with social capital and social business are clarified. Based on the analytical results, we draw policy implications on the participation of CCs (both creative occupation and creative thinking) in social business for solving social problems by demonstrating the multi-functionality of urban agriculture in global cities.
