Book Synopsis Creative Communities by : Michael Rushton
Download or read book Creative Communities written by Michael Rushton and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban and regional planners, elected officials, and other decisionmakers are increasingly focused on what makes places livable. Access to the arts inevitably appears high on that list, but knowledge about how culture and the arts can act as a tool of economic development is sadly lacking. This important sector must be considered not only as a source of amenities or pleasant diversions, but also as a wholly integrated part of local economies. Employing original data produced through both quantitative and qualitative research, Creative Communities provides a greater understanding of how art works as an engine for transforming communities. "Without good data and analysis—much of it grounded in economic theory—we cannot hope to strengthen communities through the arts or to achieve any of the other goals we set for the National Endowment for the Arts, the largest nationwide funder of the arts." —from the Foreword by Rocco Landesman Contributors: Hasan Bakhshi (Nesta UK), Elisa Barbour (University of California, Berkeley), Shiri M.

Download or read book Targeting Regional Economic Development written by Stephan J. Goetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Targeting regional economic development (TRED) has a long and rich tradition among academic economists and in the world of economic development practitioners. This book builds on a series of workshops and papers organized by The Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development (NERCRD) at the Pennsylvania State University and the Rural Policy Research Centre (RUPRI) at the University of Missouri. Through the coordinated efforts of NERCRD and RUPRI, a network of university based researchers and Extension education specialists was developed and provides the foundation of this new edited volume. For the first time in a single book, Goetz, Deller and Harris present an innovative approach through a collection of chapters discussing industry targeting and the relevance of TRED as an important analytical tool for practical targeting purposes. The papers present issues surrounding community economic development, clusters in industry and rural communities and the role of agglomeration economies. The book provides the reader with insights into not only the theoretical foundations of targeting as well as empirical methods, but also approaches for using the community-level analysis to affect policy directions.

Globalization, Planning and Local Economic Development: • Provides students with a thorough understanding of current debates around local and regional development and how that body of work can assist them in helping communities grow; • Equips students with a ‘toolkit’ of strategies that enable them to both plan for development and deliver that development through their professional lives; • Offers a roadmap for economic development that helps students make sense of place-based development by providing a ‘meta narrative’ of how regions grow and how those processes can be enhanced. This integrating perspective will be organized around the concept of competitiveness and how that concept can be understood and operationalized in various ways; • Introduces students to a range of techniques essential to success in economic development planning. In addition to a wealth of case studies and pedagogical features in the book, this text is also complemented by online resources. In offering a full toolkit of economic development knowledge, techniques and strategies, this text will thoroughly prepare students for a career in urban planning, transport planning, human geography, applied economic analysis, geographic information systems, or work as an economic development practitioner.
Book Synopsis The creative community by : John Eger
Download or read book The creative community written by John Eger and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, San Diego State University, language: English, abstract: Creating a twenty-first-century city is not so much a question of technology as it is of jobs, dollars and quality of life. A community's plan to reinvent itself for the new, knowledge-based economy and society therefore requires educating all its citizens about this new global revolution in the nature of work. To succeed, cities must prepare their citizens to take ownership of their communities and educate the next generation of leaders and workers to meet the new global challenges of what is now being termed the "Creative Economy.” At the heart of such efforts must be recognition of the vital roles that art and technology play in enhancing economic development and, ultimately, defining a "creative community" -- a community that exploits the vital linkages among art, technology and commerce. A community with a sense of place. A community that nurtures attracts and holds the most creative and innovation workers. Those communities placing a premium on cultural, ethnic, and artistic diversity, reinventing their knowledge factories for the creative age, and building the new information infrastructures for our age, will likely burst with creativity and entrepreneurial fervor. These are the ingredients so essential to developing and attracting the bright and creative people to generate new patents and inventions, innovative world-class products and services, and the finance and marketing plans to support them. Nothing less will ensure a city's economic, social, and political viability in the twenty-first century.
Book Synopsis Using the Arts for Economic Development by : Tricia M. Ostertag
Download or read book Using the Arts for Economic Development written by Tricia M. Ostertag and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nonprofit arts industry, which generates $166.2 billion in economic activity each year, is a powerful force for economic development nationwide. Arts initiatives have served as components of economic development programs by assisting local governments in many ways. Communities that invest in the arts reap additional benefits of jobs, economic growth, and quality of life. In times of economic difficulties people often look for things to eliminate in order to save money. Support of nonprofit organizations has taken a hit in the last five years and the arts have felt the cuts more than any other. Sources of support include corporate donations and sponsorships, giving by individuals, federal and state government grants, and grants from private foundations. What so many fail to see, and what this thesis will examine, is the economic stimulus that the arts can bring to communities when founded and nourished by sound business principles. In the chapters that follow I hope to encourage community based arts revitalization.The arts can create an influx of tourism, a surge in job creation, and have the ability to draw a young, creative, and energetic workforce to a community. The arts draw business industry professionals seeking inspiration, entertainment and a thriving home to raise their families. Nonprofit arts and culture organizations are an important component of a prosperous community. They are employers, consumers, producers and members of local organizations such as chambers of commerce and because of these roles, they have a strong position in the economic stability of an area. The direct economic impact that this has will be explored. The thesis will delve into the successful creation of a community arts district and its effect on the local economy by examining the Canton Arts District. This in-depth look at a depressed city center's metamorphosis into a thriving arts hub bares evidence to the power the arts can provide. This study also shows how a single city arts initiative transitioned into a county wide arts council, thereby spreading its effect to every corner of its community base. The examples of arts rejuvenation spread from coast to coast with wide-ranging strategies and successes. By looking at the facts and statistics gathered in the following chapters I hope to expose bankable concepts for real community arts growth.

Book Synopsis The Creative Arts in Governance of Urban Renewal and Development by : Rory Shand
Download or read book The Creative Arts in Governance of Urban Renewal and Development written by Rory Shand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the role of the creative sector in the governance of urban renewal and economic development initiatives. Rory Shand examines the ways in which both the top-down nature of the creative sector, and the bottom-up roles of creative arts organisations, drive development and engage with local communities or areas in regeneration projects that target employment, training and education, as well as social engagement. Underpinning these projects are governance mechanisms, through delivery, funding and participation. Drawing on case studies from the UK, Germany and Canada, Shand compares national creative sector policies and creative arts bodies engaged in the governance of urban renewal and development programmes, as well as including a comparative chapter offering an overview of best and worst practice, which also examines and summarises the key themes across both theory and practice. In his concluding remarks, he highlights and discusses the key challenges posed by governance mechanisms to urban renewal and economic development programmes and identifies future comparative case studies in the field. This book will be of great interest to students of environmental studies, public policy and politics and geography, as well as being a relevant resource for practitioners from NGOs, local and national levels of governments and community projects.
