The Sustainability of Creative Cities
(CURA/DMU, 2017-09-02) Granger, R.C.
The UK’s creative industries are world renowned, perhaps even globally unrivalled.

Creative cities can have a transformative effect on economies and act as a catalyst for regeneration. In the Midlands, cultural and creative activities have been key to leading cities like Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham out of the structural decline caused by the loss of traditional manufacturing. Music and arts, IT services, games, film and TV production, as well as aspects of fashion and design are the engine of economic growth, but also shape a city’s international image.
