Until recently, many city-builders thought those aforementioned characteristics were naturally or randomly occurring phenomena, happening outside of any planning context. But now, there is a more sophisticated understanding about the growing relationship between creativity and place and the conditions required for creativity to thrive.
Tim Jones, CEO of Artscape, will be the guest speaker. Under his direction, Artscape has grown from a Toronto-based affordable space provider into an international leader in community-led regeneration. Jones will share Artscape’s experience in translating creative city theory to practice and describe the tools and resources community builders will need in the 21st century.
