The World Cities Culture Report 2012 is a major global initiative on culture and the future of cities, set up
by the Mayor of London. It is a celebration of world cities as crucibles of human creativity and endeavour.
From ancient Athens, Renaissance Florence and Elizabethan London to modern New York’s Broadway or Mumbai’s Bollywood, cities have been the places where culture develops and moves forward.
This report examines the cultural offer of 12 of the world’s greatest cities. It gathers evidence on 60 cultural indicators, assessing both the supply of and demand for culture, and reports on the thinking of cultural policymakers in those places.
The level of detail of the cultural data collected across the cities is unprecedented, and represents the primary achievement of this research.
However, what makes the project even more valuable is its exploration of attitudes to cultural policy making in the world cities. The potential for culture to contribute to economic and social development is understood by all the cities, but it plays out in different ways depending on the particularities of each place. Bringing an analysis of policymakers’ priorities together with the data gives a much more rounded picture of culture’s role in, and value to, world cities.
The research is examined in more depth over the course of this report. There are, however, a number of messages which emerge clearly.
World cities are as important in culture as they are in finance or trade World cities, by virtue of their scale, dynamism and diversity, are the cities most able to support
the widest range of cultural activity. Their large audiences (both residents and tourists) and strong private business sectors (a source both of funding for the arts and a market for creative goods) means they are able to ‘specialise’ in culture, supporting the high fixed costs of cultural infrastructure, as well as the other ‘soft’ infrastructure of commissioning, distribution, management and production. Their diversity allows them to sustain a great variety of art forms, while their dynamism – their constantly changing populations and their international connections – make the world cities hubs of new cultural ideas and knowledge, and
also great centres for ‘hybridised’ art forms, created when ideas are blended together. The report’s findings make clear that the world cities play a crucial role in global culture. |
