Description

Urban and regional planners, elected officials, and other decisionmakers are an increasing number of fascinated about what makes places livable. Get admission to 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 vital sector will have to be thought to be not only as a source of amenities or pleasant diversions, but also as a wholly integrated a 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 can’t hope to beef up communities through the arts or to succeed in 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
