Abstract

Through the last years, there has been an increasing interest for accelerating the economical regional development of the cities through creative processes. Our investigation pretends to apply administration models for the analysis and treatment of variables, which could exponentially increase the regional development of the Latin-American city of Morelia Michoacán, México. Associated to this, we look forward to offer a strategic proposal of investment and optimal implementation of economical resources to boost the variables found, by doing this action, we try to fill the gap that is found in the field of analyzing the process of economic resource utilization for the optimal implementation of the variables analyzed. In order to achieve this task we will use tools for the treatment of fuzzy sets theory, evaluating related elements of the creative cities as a groundwork and economic impulse for the city.
