Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, San Diego State University, language: English, abstract: Creating a twenty-first-century city is not so much a question of technology as it is of jobs, dollars and quality of life. A community's plan to reinvent itself for the new, knowledge-based economy and society therefore requires educating all its citizens about this new global revolution in the nature of work. To succeed, cities must prepare their citizens to take ownership of their communities and educate the next generation of leaders and workers to meet the new global challenges of what is now being termed the "Creative Economy.” At the heart of such efforts must be recognition of the vital roles that art and technology play in enhancing economic development and, ultimately, defining a "creative community" -- a community that exploits the vital linkages among art, technology and commerce. A community with a sense of place. A community that nurtures attracts and holds the most creative and innovation workers. Those communities placing a premium on cultural, ethnic, and artistic diversity, reinventing their knowledge factories for the creative age, and building the new information infrastructures for our age, will likely burst with creativity and entrepreneurial fervor. These are the ingredients so essential to developing and attracting the bright and creative people to generate new patents and inventions, innovative world-class products and services, and the finance and marketing plans to support them. Nothing less will ensure a city's economic, social, and political viability in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book goes beyond the standard economic tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of arts in redevelopment processes. It assumes that the sectors involved in the process of arts-led community revitalization (artists, non-profit organizations, government and for-profit firms) act upon the economic structure and initiate a resurgence path. This assumption allows us to study the political and economic interaction among these sectors, understand their incentives and define and explore their boundaries. This book explores the 1) cultural and regeneration reasons for revitalization; 2) sources of funds; 3) political interaction; 4) definition and estimation of output; 5) evaluation of output; 6) estimation of coefficients and multipliers effects obtained from input-output tables.

Download or read book Community Arts and Culture Initiatives in Singapore written by Zdravko Trivic and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Can Space Do for the Arts?; What Can Arts Do for Space?; and What Can Arts and Space Do for the Community? Through the lenses of creative placemaking and neighbourhood arts ecology, Trivic re-examines the position of community arts in the spatial, social and cultural landscape. Emphasising urban design considerations of complex interdependent relationships between arts, space and people, he re-explores the role of community-based arts activities in shaping urban neighbourhoods, enriching public life and empowering communities. This is divided into an analysis of spatial opportunities for the arts in the neighbourhood; and a study of the impacts of bringing arts and culture activities into local neighbourhoods and communities, using Singapore’s nodal approach as a developed case study. Using spatial opportunity analysis, the book demonstrates a step-by-step procedure for identification and evaluation of the neighbourhood spaces that work best for community arts and culture activities. In the study of impacts, Trivic proposes a holistic framework for capturing and evaluating the non-economic impacts of arts and culture, on space, society, well-being, education and participation. An invaluable template for arts event organisers and artists to assess and maximise the outcomes of their creative efforts in local neighbourhoods, as well as an important reading for students and practitioners of neighbourhood planning, urban design, and creative placemaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nonprofit arts industry, which generates $166.2 billion in economic activity each year, is a powerful force for economic development nationwide. Arts initiatives have served as components of economic development programs by assisting local governments in many ways. Communities that invest in the arts reap additional benefits of jobs, economic growth, and quality of life. In times of economic difficulties people often look for things to eliminate in order to save money. Support of nonprofit organizations has taken a hit in the last five years and the arts have felt the cuts more than any other. Sources of support include corporate donations and sponsorships, giving by individuals, federal and state government grants, and grants from private foundations. What so many fail to see, and what this thesis will examine, is the economic stimulus that the arts can bring to communities when founded and nourished by sound business principles. In the chapters that follow I hope to encourage community based arts revitalization.The arts can create an influx of tourism, a surge in job creation, and have the ability to draw a young, creative, and energetic workforce to a community. The arts draw business industry professionals seeking inspiration, entertainment and a thriving home to raise their families. Nonprofit arts and culture organizations are an important component of a prosperous community. They are employers, consumers, producers and members of local organizations such as chambers of commerce and because of these roles, they have a strong position in the economic stability of an area. The direct economic impact that this has will be explored. The thesis will delve into the successful creation of a community arts district and its effect on the local economy by examining the Canton Arts District. This in-depth look at a depressed city center's metamorphosis into a thriving arts hub bares evidence to the power the arts can provide. This study also shows how a single city arts initiative transitioned into a county wide arts council, thereby spreading its effect to every corner of its community base. The examples of arts rejuvenation spread from coast to coast with wide-ranging strategies and successes. By looking at the facts and statistics gathered in the following chapters I hope to expose bankable concepts for real community arts growth.

Book excerpt: Renewed attention to neighborhood commercial revitalization in the United States represents a holistic approach to neighborhood revitalization and the recognition of small business in the local economy. As tourism and real estate development become central elements in the new urban economy, these neighborhood shopping districts also carry potential utilitarian value as "sense of place" becomes an important amenity to attract visitors and potential residents. Using the Baltimore Main Streets program as a case study, this dissertation explores the increasing attention from the local government in organizing commercial revitalization activities using the "Main Street Approach". Through a mixed-method approach, this study situates the popularity of the program in the neoliberal context and examines the program implementation and potential impact. The popularity of this program in cities is built upon its four targeted areas of change--design, promotion, organization and economic restructuring-- by engaging the third sector in economic development at the very local level, primarily through historic preservation and event promotion. The program responds to the neoliberal market-oriented context where competition and self-help are essential to achieve institutional and economic efficiency. As a city-wide program, Baltimore Main Streets provides opportunities to incorporate small businesses into city's economic development agenda. By developing a Main Street typology, my research reveals the capacity to achieve full program implementation is highly shaped by the socio-economic conditions of the neighborhoods. Yet with an emphasis on historic preservation, special events, and volunteer participation, this particular approach to commercial revitalization has the potential to promote growth and "open up" neighborhoods to middle class residents and potential investors. By examining property appreciation, I found that program activities may signal that an area is ready to change and therefore boost the desirability of the neighborhood on the real estate market. To make Main Street a true place-making strategy beyond place promotion, it requires the recognition of neighborhood structural difference and allocates resource accordingly to revitalize the districts in all dimensions.
