This article turns to how sections of the cultural industries responded to the onset of this crisis. Our account is based on document research completed during the first wave of the pandemic.

\n The scope, unevenness, and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on cultural work has been widely acknowledged. This article turns to how sections of the cultural industries responded to the onset of this crisis. Our account is based on document research completed during the first wave of the pandemic. We gathered news reports, impact survey results, policy recommendations, open letters, event announcements, and other grey literature generated by a range of organizations in the cultural sector, including trade unions, professional associations, and activist groups, among others. Framed by the concepts ‘labouring of culture’ and ‘policy from below’, our thematic analysis of this material reveals that cultural workers responded to the pandemic by surfacing the idea of cultural production as work; by enacting practices of care and mutual aid; and by proposing policy changes. These collective responses are marked by multiple tensions, particularly between rehabilitating the status quo in the cultural sector and radically reimagining it for a post-COVID-19 world.\n

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the review is based on specialized research literature from psychology, sociology and economy of art. As the review shows, besides being specially affected by professional precarity, most artists are also exposed to ontological precarity, under the form of pressures on their creative work.

\n The literature review here presented aims to characterize artists’ precarity in the context of their social integration, along with that precarity’s consequences, the artists’ reactions it provoques and possible ways to counter act it. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the review is based on specialized research literature from psychology, sociology and economy of art. As the review shows, besides being specially affected by professional precarity, most artists are also exposed to ontological precarity, under the form of pressures on their creative work. Both forms of precarity stem from the nature of the artists’ social integration, a critical process in attempting survivance, recognition and identity consolidation and which involves complex interactions with a variety of social players. Altought experienced in multiple ways, artists’ precarity entails risky material and psychological consequences, also affecting the artistic creative process. Finally, artists’ precarity can be counteracted through specific personal coping strategies, along with possible changes in the system.\n

\n ABSTRACT: For more than a decade, co-working spaces have proliferated in cities worldwide. The paper discusses co-working as a critical urban practice because these spaces give support to the rising number of freelance workers in culture and creative industries. Freelance workers are an ‘invisible’ workforce whose impact often remains ‘hidden’ (Mould et al., 2014), who are not sufficiently protected through social welfare regulations and do not enjoy the same social entitlements as employed workers. This paper uses the concept of informality to highlight ongoing informalisation processes of employment relationships as well as informal working practices in creative labour markets. It discusses the emergence of co-working as a practice of collective self-help and self-organisation to cope with and to potentially overcome the informality, uncertainty and risks associated with independent work. It argues that co-working can be seen in line with other practices of informal urbanism that become more prevalent in European and North American cities because of the lack of affordable housing, the retrenchment of the social welfare state and the imposed conditions of ‘austerity urbanism’ (Peck, 2012). ANNOTATION: Published in the independent scholarly journal ephemera in February 2015, author Janet Merkel (Technical University of Berlin) leads a narrative exploration of the “collaboratively oriented workplace.” (121) This examination of organizational labour focuses on freelance workers in the culture and creative industries, with particular attention paid to the curatorial practice of the coworking host in regard to organizing the collaborative community. After presenting (albeit slightly outdated) statistics regarding hubs around the world, as well as establishing a definition for the term “coworking,” Merkel then introduces the methodology of their research report. In preparation for this paper, Merkel conducted a series of semi-structured interviews with coworking hosts in Berlin, New York and London, while fortifying their research by consulting various websites, blog posts and handbooks on the subject.

In the second study, I showed how an accelerator assemblage —“seed accelerator” and “seed funding”— structures and legitimises the intensive interactions in the startup accelerators. In the third study, I showed how the idea of a virtual hub normalises the work-in-progress of digital incubation. Through these studies, I argue that the Assemblage of creative hubs works through a provisional, rather than an established, arrangement. Ultimately, this thesis contributes an Assemblage-oriented understanding of creative hubs. In this understanding, I argue that the Assemblage of creative hubs in its multiplicity requires, organises and structures human-activity-infrastructure, terms-themes-expectations and other expressions so that creative hubs function to provisionally support the provisional in the creative industries. In turn, this understanding has implications of both setting a ‘limit’ for creative hubs’ operations and providing a ‘map’ for understanding creative hubs.\n

The article's main argument is that while the CCPF justifies state subsidies and regulation of cultural industries in Canada, it also presents itself as a "new" turn for the creative and cultural industries. This "newness" crystallizes a neoliberal turn in Canadian cultural policy whereby cultural value is attributed and equivalent to economic value. This attribution of economic value is dangerous for "market failure" cultural artists who might have been previously protected under a different set of principles guiding cultural policies. The paper adds to the growing scholarship re: neoliberalization of Canadian cultural policy by considering the discursive shift between "creativity" and "digital culture.” For example, the CFPC Creative Canada as an "industry" centerpiece for growing the creative economy in Canada, but pays little regard to their "art" as centrepiece objects. This framework, the author argues, normalizes artistic and artisanal precarity (5). "From the onset, Creative Canada rejected the protectionist mind frame that characterized developments in cultural governance post Massey Commission" (20). However, to note: author argues protectionist-like rhetoric still lurks in the background of CC, which go hand-in-hand with Trudeau's 2016 announcement of a \\$1.9 B investment in the creative sector, situating the valorization of national culture as an agent of economic growth (21-22).},\n\tlanguage = {eng},\n\turldate = {2021-05-24},\n\tinstitution = {CRTC},\n\tauthor = {Bourcheix-Laporte, Marianee},\n\tmonth = jun,\n\tyear = {2019},\n\tkeywords = {Canada, artistic and creative measures (indicator), cultural and creative industries, development, economic (indicator), governance, policy instruments (indicator)},\n}\n\n\n\n

The article's main argument is that while the CCPF justifies state subsidies and regulation of cultural industries in Canada, it also presents itself as a \"new\" turn for the creative and cultural industries. This \"newness\" crystallizes a neoliberal turn in Canadian cultural policy whereby cultural value is attributed and equivalent to economic value. This attribution of economic value is dangerous for \"market failure\" cultural artists who might have been previously protected under a different set of principles guiding cultural policies. The paper adds to the growing scholarship re: neoliberalization of Canadian cultural policy by considering the discursive shift between \"creativity\" and \"digital culture.” For example, the CFPC Creative Canada as an \"industry\" centerpiece for growing the creative economy in Canada, but pays little regard to their \"art\" as centrepiece objects. This framework, the author argues, normalizes artistic and artisanal precarity (5). \"From the onset, Creative Canada rejected the protectionist mind frame that characterized developments in cultural governance post Massey Commission\" (20). However, to note: author argues protectionist-like rhetoric still lurks in the background of CC, which go hand-in-hand with Trudeau's 2016 announcement of a $1.9 B investment in the creative sector, situating the valorization of national culture as an agent of economic growth (21-22).\n

Ethno-nationally divided cities, which have become defined by their separation, are increasingly being studied to understand a common urban experience, to consider how partition politics develop and to learn how to best avoid them. Parallel art practices are also noted in these three urban milieus, in so far as they aim to assist conflict resolution and create zones that facilitate social transformation. This article addresses the use of art as a tool of social cohesion, through examination of art projects targeted at ethno-national division and conflict. Looking at three different, but similar, cities demonstrates how art has been used at different stages of the desegregation process, and how these processes can potentially lead to new patterns of divisions. The use of the arts in divided city contexts is related to art used in broader urban contexts to address segregation and facilitate social engagement and shared spaces. ANNOTATION: This article looks at different urban contexts where art has been used with local communities to bridge ethno-national divides. The study articulates how art projects can be used to open expression about social divisions and traumatic experiences. The case studies provide useful examples of how urban social transformations through art can occur. There is not a specific discussion of the support systems that funded or housed the organizations or individuals who managed the community art projects. This article could be useful as an example of the kinds of social transformations that could occur with a stable creative sector.\n

I define Silicon Valley as a well-integrated and balanced ecosystem in which all constituting elements are lined up to promote and sustain leading-edge innovation and pioneering entrepreneurship. It is an almost organic and prototypical system that generates an enduring and resilient habitat for innovation and startups to thrive (Munroe 2009). The Valley is\n

\n ABSTRACT: All accelerators have their showcases of startups they see as their greatest successes. In this chapter, I analyze these accelerator darlings and the reasons they were nominated by my respondents. What is their underlying definition of success? Is it mainly related to the funds raised by accelerator startups or their social impact as well? The other side of success is, of course, failure. Do my respondents see a pattern in why startups fail? Does it come down to team, product, or market? It will become clear from my analyses that there is a multitude of factors related to startup success. ANNOTATION: This chapter in Peter Ester’s book Accelerators in Silicon Valley (published 2017) reads more as a list of case studies than an academic report. Ester (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences) presents the results of a series of interviews conducted with leaders of accelerators located in Silicon Valley. Leaders are asked about start-ups that had been successfully established through programs offered by their accelerators, with specific questions surrounding what is considered “success,” and what are common “factors of success.” While most of the interviews focus on for-profit organizations, many of the start-ups established had mandates addressing social issues. Commonly identified success factors include traction and strong company narrative, while other examples (such as those provided by Powerhouse CEO Emily Kirsch) include “innovation, mission, funding, traction, and diversity.” (124) The chapter also touches upon the evaluation frameworks employed by established start-ups, with interviews revealing that after their establishment the start-ups tend to favour “financial performance” over any other performance metric, followed by business acquisition and market disruption. The 126 interviews also provide insights into organizational models employed by the accelerators, as well as the challenges that they face (the most common of which appear to be talent acquisition and finding affordable real estate.) While this source is albeit a step removed from discussing evaluation frameworks for the accelerators themselves, it still provides valuable insight into the success factors affiliated with accelerators, as well as the challenges they face.

These research questions are translated into two objectives: (1) compare changes in the Exchange District since 2005, and (2) make policy recommendations for the City of Winnipeg especially on how to attract and retain creative entrepreneurs and workers that live and work in the Exchange District. The case study includes a document analysis of planning and policy documents for Winnipeg, MB., interviews with thirteen (13) participants, and participant observations.

A similar SWOT has been conducted in order to compare findings from 2005 to 2017. Three elements have been identified as contributing to the development of creative industries in the Exchange District: (1) a strong public realm; (2) internal/external networking for arts, culture, and creative industries; and, (3) support and advocacy organizations for arts, culture, and creativity. Three additional elements have been identified as equally as important, although are not present in the Exchange District: (1) connectivity to surrounding areas; (2) multilateral civic collaboration and leadership; and, (3) mixed-income and mixed-type housing and workspaces. Five recommendations for the City of Winnipeg: (1) develop and implement an affordable housing strategy for Winnipeg’s downtown; (2) incentivize heritage building redevelopment, and at the same time de-incentivize empty buildings and empty lots; (3) recognize the uniqueness of the Exchange District in official planning documents; (4) support opportunities for cross industry collaboration as well as outreach to other creative centres; and, (5) create a ‘creative spaces strategy’ for the Exchange District.},\n\tlanguage = {en},\n\turldate = {2021-05-24},\n\tauthor = {Bell, Paul W.},\n\tyear = {2017},\n\tkeywords = {Canada, business model (indicator), civic and social engagement (indicator), community impact (indicator), cultural district, entrepreneurship, physical space (indicator), space},\n}\n\n\n\n

This study aims to investigate the connotations and characteristics of urban quality measures at various geographic scales through the review of literature and best practice studies. Based on the review findings, the paper proposes directions to build a multidimensional and multi-scalar urban quality framework that assigns relevant quality measures to each geographic scale. This paper sheds light on the urban quality policy and performance assessment issues in the context of knowledge and innovation spaces, and generate insights for urban planners and policymakers in planning and developing appealing local conditions in their cities.\n

What is fuelling this growth and where is the demand for coworking coming from? We tried to address this question by looking at the specific needs of the rising creative class, identifying their urgent need for uninhibited sharing of information, knowledge, ideas and also material resources.

\n The number of coworking spaces and the number of people who choose to work in them has exploded over the past few years, with numbers expected to double every year. What is fuelling this growth and where is the demand for coworking coming from? We tried to address this question by looking at the specific needs of the rising creative class, identifying their urgent need for uninhibited sharing of information, knowledge, ideas and also material resources. We argue that coworking spaces are favoured by the creative class, because they offer a community of work which facilitates the culture of sharing. To illustrate what it takes to establish such a community of work, we present a case study of the Creative Centre Poligon which suggests that community building is a multi-step process that needs careful management and plenty of time.

In this article, five key factors that entrepreneurs should take into consideration about incubators and accelerators are offered. Insights are drawn from two surveys of managers and users of incubators and accelerators. An understanding of these five key success factors (stage of venture, fit with incubator’s mission, selection and graduation policies, services provided, and network of partners) and potential pitfalls will help entrepreneurs confidently enter into a relationship with an incubator or accelerator.\n

\n ABSTRACT: The importance of informal institutions and in particular culture for entrepreneurship is a subject of ongoing interest. Past research has mostly concentrated on cross-national comparisons, cultural values and the direct effects of culture on entrepreneurial behaviour, but in the main found inconsistent results. We add a fresh perspective to this research stream by turning attention to community-level culture and cultural norms. We hypothesize indirect effects of cultural norms on venture emergence: Community-level cultural norms (performance-based culture and socially supportive institutional norms) impact important supply-side variables (entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial motivation) which in turn influence nascent entrepreneurs’ success in creating operational ventures (venture emergence). We test our predictions on a unique longitudinal dataset, tracking nascent entrepreneurs’ venture creation efforts over a five-year time span, and find evidence supporting them. Our research contributes to a more fine-grained understanding of how culture, in particular perceptions of community cultural norms, influences venture emergence. Based on these findings, we discuss how venture creation efforts can be supported. Our research highlights the embeddedness of entrepreneurial behaviour and its immediate antecedent beliefs in the local, community context. ANNOTATION: This is a five-year long longitudinal study of 560 nascent entrepreneurs to test mechanisms by which community-level cultural norms, informal institutions affect start-up entrepreneurial motivation and self-efficacy variables.

\n This paper examines the spatialities and practices of an illustrative sample of UK mumpreneurs, a sub-group of female entrepreneurs who operate at the interface between paid work and motherhood, who are increasing numerically, and who are carving for themselves, a sub-culture of entrepreneurship. They have great policy-importance, not least because the UK government has recognised mothers as a group who need to be encouraged into business ownership. Employing mixed methods with emphasis on qualitative approaches, the research findings suggest that policy makers need to understand better some key aspects of this entrepreneurial activity before their interventions can be effective. Annotation: mumpreneurs who creatively utilise the everyday spaces of motherhood: transitions into business rely heavily on family contexts and parent networks. The unconventional economic spaces and spatialities of mothering are crucial here. We need to re-conceive/re-define entrepreneurship and direct resources accordingly. Policy makers need to encourage local neighbourhood cultures of entrepreneurship.

Research and practice on these two issues have largely proceeded on separate tracks. A logic model framework offers a way to conceptualize network coordination and performance by making explicit the hypothesized relations between network processes and outcomes. Hatry's (2006) logic model approach is used as a heuristic tool toward developing measurable indicators for network planning, implementation, and evaluation. This article provides a theoretical rationale for bridging the logic model concept with emergent network theory about outcomes-focused network processes. Several illustrative examples depict the application of logic modeling to three elements of a network performance measurement system: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The article discusses the implications of the logic model approach as a tool for developing, managing, and assessing the performance outcomes of collaborative and networked initiatives.\n\nANNOTATION: "Through the lens of a logic model framework, author Joaquín Herranz, Jr. (University of Washington) actively attempts to bridge the gap between the concepts of “networked collaboration” and “performance measurement” in this 2010 article published in the Public Performance \\& Management Review. Within the paper, Herranz addresses the dearth of literature that provides “practice-oriented tools are available to instruct or guide such managers on how to think about the relation between variable network processes and outcomes.” (57) The author argues for the implementation of the logic model framework as a useful tool for non-profit managers, citing its proven track record in the field of organizational theory, as well as its flexibility and often collaborative development process. The paper begins with a background overview of networked performance measurement from an American policy perspective, as well as an examination of “current” trends in the public sector. Herranz highlights specific challenges faced by evaluating collaborative non-profit organizations, admitting that while it is fairly straightforward for a single-agency program to measure whether or not it has achieved its deliverable, the multi-dimensionality of several networked agencies introduce an incredibly complicated number of interconnected performance indicators. Drawing heavily from Hatry’s logic model framework outlined in his textbook Performance Measurement: Getting Results, Herranz introduces the model’s theory, including the visual of a flow chart in which the five concepts of the model are linked: resources, activity, output, intermediate outcomes and end outcomes (with each concept accompanied by indicators represented by numbers and percentages.) The importance of involving several different stakeholders in the development of the logic model is stressed, as is the fact that the logic model is not a static tool, but one that constantly evolves with the organization that it represents.

\n ABSTRACT: Performance measurement and networked collaboration are each important trends in public management. Research and practice on these two issues have largely proceeded on separate tracks. A logic model framework offers a way to conceptualize network coordination and performance by making explicit the hypothesized relations between network processes and outcomes. Hatry's (2006) logic model approach is used as a heuristic tool toward developing measurable indicators for network planning, implementation, and evaluation. This article provides a theoretical rationale for bridging the logic model concept with emergent network theory about outcomes-focused network processes. Several illustrative examples depict the application of logic modeling to three elements of a network performance measurement system: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The article discusses the implications of the logic model approach as a tool for developing, managing, and assessing the performance outcomes of collaborative and networked initiatives. ANNOTATION: \"Through the lens of a logic model framework, author Joaquín Herranz, Jr. (University of Washington) actively attempts to bridge the gap between the concepts of “networked collaboration” and “performance measurement” in this 2010 article published in the Public Performance & Management Review. Within the paper, Herranz addresses the dearth of literature that provides “practice-oriented tools are available to instruct or guide such managers on how to think about the relation between variable network processes and outcomes.” (57) The author argues for the implementation of the logic model framework as a useful tool for non-profit managers, citing its proven track record in the field of organizational theory, as well as its flexibility and often collaborative development process. The paper begins with a background overview of networked performance measurement from an American policy perspective, as well as an examination of “current” trends in the public sector. Herranz highlights specific challenges faced by evaluating collaborative non-profit organizations, admitting that while it is fairly straightforward for a single-agency program to measure whether or not it has achieved its deliverable, the multi-dimensionality of several networked agencies introduce an incredibly complicated number of interconnected performance indicators. Drawing heavily from Hatry’s logic model framework outlined in his textbook Performance Measurement: Getting Results, Herranz introduces the model’s theory, including the visual of a flow chart in which the five concepts of the model are linked: resources, activity, output, intermediate outcomes and end outcomes (with each concept accompanied by indicators represented by numbers and percentages.) The importance of involving several different stakeholders in the development of the logic model is stressed, as is the fact that the logic model is not a static tool, but one that constantly evolves with the organization that it represents. Herranz touts this as a benefit of the model – although traditionally linear, the model can adapt to any shape necessary, and is thus reflective the multidimensionality of collaborative non-profits, especially those housed in multi-tenant hubs. When adapting the logic model tool for collaborative non-profit organizations, Herranz recommends three separate models be implemented: one model of planning and tracking connections, once for charting the implementation of the plan, and finally another one for evaluation and reporting. Herranz then provides several illustrative examples of logic models. These are framed within the context of a case study of a multi-tenant non-profit hub located in Boston whose mandate focuses on social issues surrounding employment. Herranz provides illustrative sample models for network planning as well as network strategy from the hub, as well as depicts how a logic model can be applied as an evaluative framework and performance measurement tool. However, the author stresses that these models are merely hypotheticals, and are not to be read as definitive examples of the logic model at work. A discussion follows, which summaries the benefits and challenges of employing logic model tools to networked not-for-profit hubs, however Herranz maintains that the model holds powerful potential to “serve as a conceptual tool for planning, implementing, and evaluating the performance outcomes of collaborative and networked initiatives.” (78)\n

Nonetheless, there are important innovations in collective bargaining and resources made available to creative workers (including advice on standard minimums in negotiations concerning copyright payments). The researchers offer several recommendations for Canadian policy makers: 1) current official cultural statistics are inadequate to measure the incredible diversity of employment situations specific to creative workers in the new economy. 2) It is important to include the role of the social economy – the non-profit and voluntary sectors; in estimating the value added by creative activities, and the capacity of those non-profit organizations which service creative workers. 3) A broader policy framework called a creative ecology approach is needed, drawing from the urban planning conceptions of the creative city and from new thinking about the role of public and private cultural infrastructure in providing the environment in which creativity can flourish. 4) There is an urgent need for governments to examine multiple ways to enhance social security and income support for the most important but frequently forgotten component of the creative economy: the creative workers themselves.\n

However, the evaluation measures used are those that apply to individual organizations, rather than network arrangements that often include not only representatives of public sector organizations but also representatives of nonprofit and private organizations as well as individuals and groups representing community interests. New ways are needed of evaluating performance in these network arrangements.\n

The contention developed is that it is possible to render down the various and multiple objectives of arts and cultural organizations into a relatively small number of options. These options are clarified and presented in the form of a matrix. It is argued that the matrix provides a series of strategic options for arts managers that may be pursued in relation to one another. This process is presented in the form of a model. It is further argued that the achievement of these strategic options may be measured with a degree of sensitivity. \n\nANNOTATION: Gilhespy proposes a new performance measurement model designed specifically for arts and cultural organizations, with the assumption that mission objectives can be distilled to a select number of strategic options which are then effectively measured. This model was developed from the data collected using the Grounded Theory framework from 27 semi-structured interviews with management professionals of arts organizations in the South of England. Gilhespy begins by providing the cultural context of the non-profit sector in England at the time of the paper’s publishing, followed by an introduction to the four concepts being utilized as metrics in the paper: efficiency, effectiveness, economy and equity. The process of the model’s development is then recounted, including the determination of the 10 core mission statement variables or “policy objectives” informing the model, namely: “Access Maximization, Attendance Maximization, Diversity/Multiculturalism, Economy, Maximization, Education, Excellence, Innovation, Revenue, Maximization Service Quality, Maximization Social Cohesion.” (41) Each policy objective concept is then defined, dissected and analysed in the sections that follow. Gilhespy also introduces the concept of “weighting” for each of the policy objectives, in which creative and cultural organizations must assign a weight, or a value of importance for each variable. The author then demonstrates the practical application of this weighted formula to a hypothetical organization using an x, y, and z formula, as well as visually depicting the model as a flowchart. Finally, the benefits and the drawbacks to the model are addressed from both internal and external stakeholders’ perspectives.

\n ABSTRACT: The principal aim of this paper is to present a model of a performance measurement system for application to and by arts and cultural organizations. The contention developed is that it is possible to render down the various and multiple objectives of arts and cultural organizations into a relatively small number of options. These options are clarified and presented in the form of a matrix. It is argued that the matrix provides a series of strategic options for arts managers that may be pursued in relation to one another. This process is presented in the form of a model. It is further argued that the achievement of these strategic options may be measured with a degree of sensitivity. ANNOTATION: Gilhespy proposes a new performance measurement model designed specifically for arts and cultural organizations, with the assumption that mission objectives can be distilled to a select number of strategic options which are then effectively measured. This model was developed from the data collected using the Grounded Theory framework from 27 semi-structured interviews with management professionals of arts organizations in the South of England. Gilhespy begins by providing the cultural context of the non-profit sector in England at the time of the paper’s publishing, followed by an introduction to the four concepts being utilized as metrics in the paper: efficiency, effectiveness, economy and equity. The process of the model’s development is then recounted, including the determination of the 10 core mission statement variables or “policy objectives” informing the model, namely: “Access Maximization, Attendance Maximization, Diversity/Multiculturalism, Economy, Maximization, Education, Excellence, Innovation, Revenue, Maximization Service Quality, Maximization Social Cohesion.” (41) Each policy objective concept is then defined, dissected and analysed in the sections that follow. Gilhespy also introduces the concept of “weighting” for each of the policy objectives, in which creative and cultural organizations must assign a weight, or a value of importance for each variable. The author then demonstrates the practical application of this weighted formula to a hypothetical organization using an x, y, and z formula, as well as visually depicting the model as a flowchart. Finally, the benefits and the drawbacks to the model are addressed from both internal and external stakeholders’ perspectives. While the research of this paper resides firmly in the context of Britain in the 1980s and 90s, the core concepts remain relevant today. The model is presented in a very straightforward and efficient manner, and the language style is highly readable and accessible. Although not focused on creative hubs per se, the model presented in this paper may prove to be a source of inspiration for potential evaluative frameworks.\n

\n ABSTRACT: Deusto Cities Lab has recently published a report collecting the experiences of some of the cities member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) that have developed successful projects to achieve urban transformation, social inclusion, economic development and cultural prosperity through creativity. Based on Deusto Cities Lab’s approach, the document Creative Cities: Mapping creativity driven cities, presents 12 best practices divided into 4 categories: cooperativeness, creativity, cohesion and compactness. This research work contributes to the work that UNESCO is carrying out to identify specific tools to promote, protect and safeguard culture, cultural diversity and creativity as key driving forces for the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. ANNOTATION: This publication gathers the experiences of 180 Unesco Creative Cities Network (UCCN) cities that have carried out successful projects for urban transformation, social inclusion, economic development and cultural prosperity through creativity. UCCNs centre creativity and cultural industries through local urban development and cooperate within international spheres. The document presents the 12 best practices of the Network’s member cities. Evaluative components of UCCN cities: urban transformation, social inclusion, economic development, and cultural property through creativity are examples of creativity as essential elements in sustainable urban development. Evaluative methodology: multi-dimensional approach to creativity and towards the redefinition of the \"creative city\" concept. Creative Cohesion Cities: case studies - Budapest, Kobe and Parma - foster social cohesion through creativity that brings citizens together, reinforces their sense of identity and diversity, and foster tolerance and interaction among broad ranges of population groups. - Creative Compact Cities: case studies - Krajow, Ljubljana, and Ulynovsk - are compact and in their creativity account for human security, spatial integration, and connectivity. Best practices that focus on community-based management and public space maintenance. - Creative-Cooperativeness Cities: case studies - Bologna, Dénia, Hangzhou - focus on design as a tool that makes cities attractive, cooperativeness, efficient, liveable; fosters networks, innovation, and creativity; cooperativeness but people and community-centred at the same time. - Creative Governance Cities: case studies - Dunedin, Helsinki, Puebla - focus on \"creative\" and sustainable urban governance through multi-level and collaborative solutions that help cities learn from the past, create the present, and enable the future, while placing creative fields at the centre of their urban strategy. - Lessons learned: ● Make special programmes and projects that address vulnerable parts of society such as children or elderly people ● Work with specific target group in order to offer tailor-made solutions to their everyday problems ● Think in advance - make long term action plans and projects in order to ensure a successful and long-living creative city ● Think outside the box and overcome the limits of real physical space by using new technologies ● Make your city more compact by decentralisation - go out and work with the suburbs ● Combine a Creative City project with other relevant topics in the city. A city can be a Green, Smart, Creative and Learning city at the same time ● Make sure that local government supports creativity with a proper strategy ● Think how to transfer traditional knowledge to new generations ● Work with universities and other centres of learning ● Use creativity and creative thinking to deal with everyday problems. The solution is sometimes where you least expect it. ● Place citizens at the centre of the local development strategy because human cleverness, desires, motivation, imagination and creativity are crucial resources for modern cities.\n

@article{alacovska_-westernizing_nodate,\n\ttitle = {De-{Westernizing} {Creative} {Labour} {Studies}: {The} {Informality} of {Creative} {Work} from an {Ex}-{Centric} {Perspective}},\n\tvolume = {22},\n\tabstract = {Creative labour studies focus almost exclusively on Euro-American metropolitan ‘creative hubs’ and hence the creative worker they theorize is typically white, middle-class, urban and overwhelmingly male. This article outlines the contours of a de-Westernizing project in creative labour studies while introducing a special journal issue that examines the lived dynamics of creative work outside the West. The article advocates an ‘ex-centric perspective’ on creative work. An ex-centric perspective does not merely aim at multiplying non-West empirical case studies. Rather, it aims at destabilizing, decentring and provincializing the taken-for-grantedness of some entrenched notions in creative labour studies such as informality and precarity. An ex-centric perspective, we contend, offers a potential challenge to many of the claims about creative work that have taken on the status of general truths and universal principles in spite of them being generated from limited empirical evidence gleaned from research sites situated almost exclusively in the creative hubs of Euro-America. Annotation: The report presents itself as a challenge to the assumed “general truths” around the prevalence of precarity, the individualism of workers, and informality that are deemed inherent in creative work. Authors Alacovska and Gill begin by providing an overview of creative labour studies including the research’s current limitations, which tend to focus solely on western art forms in large metropolitan hubs. In order to resist this process, the authors argue there must be a push against the typical Western-centric neoliberal creative clusters and hubs as they become established globally. Alacovska and Gill also call for the resistance of the fetishization (and therefore exclusive research) of the creative and cultural labour workers found in “cool” and “edgy” post-industrial western cities such as London, Amsterdam, Berlin and New York. Finally, the dearth of research available that is not centred around western creative industries is highlighted, as the authors provide brief annotations for the few examples that are currently available. An analysis of the concept of informality and precarity in creative labour then follows, with specific attention paid to the concepts’ detrimental attributes.

\n Creative labour studies focus almost exclusively on Euro-American metropolitan ‘creative hubs’ and hence the creative worker they theorize is typically white, middle-class, urban and overwhelmingly male. This article outlines the contours of a de-Westernizing project in creative labour studies while introducing a special journal issue that examines the lived dynamics of creative work outside the West. The article advocates an ‘ex-centric perspective’ on creative work. An ex-centric perspective does not merely aim at multiplying non-West empirical case studies. Rather, it aims at destabilizing, decentring and provincializing the taken-for-grantedness of some entrenched notions in creative labour studies such as informality and precarity. An ex-centric perspective, we contend, offers a potential challenge to many of the claims about creative work that have taken on the status of general truths and universal principles in spite of them being generated from limited empirical evidence gleaned from research sites situated almost exclusively in the creative hubs of Euro-America. Annotation: The report presents itself as a challenge to the assumed “general truths” around the prevalence of precarity, the individualism of workers, and informality that are deemed inherent in creative work. Authors Alacovska and Gill begin by providing an overview of creative labour studies including the research’s current limitations, which tend to focus solely on western art forms in large metropolitan hubs. In order to resist this process, the authors argue there must be a push against the typical Western-centric neoliberal creative clusters and hubs as they become established globally. Alacovska and Gill also call for the resistance of the fetishization (and therefore exclusive research) of the creative and cultural labour workers found in “cool” and “edgy” post-industrial western cities such as London, Amsterdam, Berlin and New York. Finally, the dearth of research available that is not centred around western creative industries is highlighted, as the authors provide brief annotations for the few examples that are currently available. An analysis of the concept of informality and precarity in creative labour then follows, with specific attention paid to the concepts’ detrimental attributes. Authors also reframe informal creative labour through the lens of feminism, creating correlations with the concepts of immaterial labour and care labour. Alacovska and Gill highlight the paradox of the West simultaneously encouraging informal creative labour, while denouncing the informal economies of ex-centric non-western countries. This dichotomy, argues the authors, suggest that “the boundaries between the formal and the informal are in themselves racialized and colonial, imposed by development agencies, financial institutions and governments from ‘the centre’.” (203) Alacovska and Gill also cite the challenge of categorizing informal practices, as many of them can be considered “non-market social relations sustained by moral values.” (204) The paper then concludes with an overview of the other articles that are included in this special edition of the journal.\n
