Creative Cities Network Call
Tuesday March 11, 2008
Mark your calendar for March 11 at 11 a.m. CST for the kick-off call for our new Creative Cities Network.
Since the publication of Charles Landry’s “The Creative City,” urban leaders have been grappling with the notion of creative communities, what they are, their benefits and how to foster them. To date, efforts have been scattered and uncoordinated, with few solid answers on how to build a truly creative city.
To address this, CEOs For Cities is developing a Creative Cities Network composed of urban leaders representing 4-6 of the top 50 U.S. metro areas who will use existing research to develop a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities associated with creative city concepts and develop and apply strategies to amplify these opportunities in their communities.
To jump start this effort, we invite you to participate in a network call that will lay out the rationale behind the developing Creative Cities Network, the anticipated deliverables and to discuss options for participation. Following the short presentation, we’ll take questions and share information on the first convening of network participants.
If you want to participate on the call, please email Sheila Redick at sredick@ceosforcities.org to receive the call-in information.
We’ll circulate an agenda and brief presentation to those who RSVP.
Please note: This call is for CEOs for Cities members only.
