«CULTURE AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT»





«(...) How can local governments face the challenge of making culture a lever for local development? The current debate on Creative Place Making, puts the different actors - individuals, companies, NGOs, public, users, amateurs, and governments - in permanent interaction. The values that are produced are interdependent whatever the specific domain of their realization, e.g. cultural or no cultural. Careers develop, ideas transfer, money flows, and products and contents move, to and from, around and between the non-profit, homemade and commercial cultural subsectors. To make a creative place, governments must activate talents in various directions, preserve their works and inspire new ones. In this ecosystem, the role of a local government cannot be ‘to organise’ from the outset an ecosystem, which probably results from a long sedimentation of institutions and practices, but rather to make it more responding to new challenges.  More precisely, local governments cannot directly manage and control activities resulting from many changing interactions. However, they can care about the quality of their environment and insert the incentives that will induce both creativity and accountability. Creative place making requires local governments to understand concepts of art and culture that change from the silo visions of the art world to consider projects whose contours refer to interactions and sharing. They need to understand communities, not just of those who are already visible, but also those who live on the margins or who use the place occasionally. In summary, local governments will probably have to behave more and more as brokers and enablers.  (...)».
