RSA Creative Industries & Regional Development

Creative Clusters in Low-Density Urban Areas is an added value cooperation project with the goal to perform a collective “learning by doing” exercise in the field of urban creative clusters. The fundamental assumption is that creative issues in local economic development are also a functional pattern beyond the frame of big metropolitan hubs. Even more, creativity as source of innovation should act as a cross cutting approach to re-think economic and social development in middlesized and small towns given new opportunities related to accessibility, community life, culture and creativity-based business models. During the period 2008-2011 this URBACT network has worked on five key sub-themes: i) creative clusters: diversifying local economic base and opportunities to young people; ii) events and cultural agendas as catalysts; iii) promoting the creative city: a new range of facilities and infrastructures; iv) creative entrepreneurs and talented people: attraction and retaining; v) setting the basis: creative education environments at local levels. On 9th June the Lead partner City of Òbidos will organize the final conference with the title of Creative Footprint.
