CREATIVE CITY TOP FIVE ISSUE AREAS
A message from Partners' Laura
Durham:
Last month I sent out a letter to each point of contact in
participating cities. In this letter, I described Partners'
plans for our Creative City newsletter/web site and asked
for your input on the areas we should cover through it. Thanks
to the many of you who responded to my request for feedback
on your community's interest in amenity topics. Though we
hope to cover much, much more, the "top five" issue
areas, each linked to an expanded outline, are:
- Regionalism
Amenities & Regional Thinking, Heritage & Tourism
- Image and Marketing
City Image, Celebration of the City
- Leadership and
Citizen Engagement
New Civics, Municipal Government, Local Business
- The Creative
City Concept
Creative Leadership, Economic Activity, Equity, Quality
of Life, and Paying for It
- Arts and Culture
Cultural Planning, Public Art/Places as Art
As you can see, we decided to begin with coverage on the
Creative City concept, as that seems like a good springboard
to future issues. If you have not responded yet, here is another
opportunity. (Potential topics included: the Creative City
Concept, Arts and Culture, Parks and Open Space, Leadership
and Citizen Engagement, Image and Marketing, Animation and
Celebration, Public/Private Partnerships, Design, Regionalism,
Central Cities, Financing, and any other areas of interest).
You can email me your feedback at ldurham@livable.com.
