Bandung is a city that chooses creative-cities as their political movement, but it gets sharply criticized as like as another creative-cities agenda in the world. This city contains creatively social movements with creative culture in everyday life. By field of capital framework, this article tries to understand how it works in Kampung Kreatif Dago Pojok and Kopi Pasar Los Tjihapit. It is found, both communities use their knowledge as cultural capital to produce spaces creatively with their artistic competence, utilized as nodes to develop networks with other actors to construct their social capital. Their artistic skill is utilized to deliver their cultural dignity, as marginalized urban societies beyond capitalism, to attract attention in urban life. Learning from phenomenology that inserting humanity in science, the creative culture will more meaningful when representing humanity in the innovation of urban development as a part of the cultural sustainability of the society.
