Fostering the Creative City
Fostering the Creative City, a paper commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and written by CEOs for Cities President and CEO Carol Coletta, traces the evolution of the creative city movement worldwide and begins to explore alternative futures for creative cities concepts. It also, for the first time, proposes a new paradigm for defining the creative city "as one that recognizes the potential creativity in all assets. In this fifth alternative future, the job becomes developing and sustaining the creative capacity of assets – people, places and connections. By recognizing that creativity exists in everyone, the opportunity for communities to succeed and the myriad of creative resources available to them significantly expands."
