Creative Europe – the power of culture in European cities – Hamburg, 31 May – 1 June 2007 31-05-2007 Introduction Creative Europe – the power of culture in European cities focuses on the ways
in which culture and creativity interact, becoming a catalyst for urban
prosperity and social development. The conference is organised by the German
Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media in cooperation with
the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
Description
In the context of global structure change, we have to think about new and
imaginative ways and have to consider centres for creative service-orientated
industries to strengthen the competitive position and innovative potential of
cities and large population centres. More and more, the attraction of creative,
highly specialised, mobile inhabitants is profitable and enriches economy,
culture and urban planning. This congress will examine the extent to which
culture, as well as the artists and those who work in the field, contribute to a
city’s innovation, development and economic prosperity.
A series of presentations, debates and four future-oriented panel discussions
will examine the perspectives on social and economic changes that result from
the clashes between technologically innovative regions, pioneering cultural and
architectural projects, and the creative people behind them. In addition,
representatives from major European cultural metropolis will introduce their
cities at the congress, and give more direct insights into the topic.
