This major new international report highlights opportunities and challenges for the future. 150 artists, business leaders, entrepreneurs and politicians and opinion formers were asked for their views on the challenges and opportunities facing their cities and how culture can address them. The report reveals that the cultural and creative sectors are increasingly recognised as critical to the success of leading cities around the world, with many contributors talking about the role that culture has in creating shared spaces and bringing people together.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, today called on cities around the world to work together to support and nurture culture and creativity, which he believes are critical to their success.
The Mayor’s comments coincide with the publication of The World Cities Culture Report 2015, the biggest international survey of opinion leaders ever undertaken about the value of culture and cities. Link
