The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor | 2019 Edition

Project title

The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor | 2019 Edition

Description of initiative

This second edition of the Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor shows how well 190 cities in 30 European countries perform on a range of measures describing the ‘Cultural Vibrancy’, the ‘Creative Economy’ and the ‘Enabling Environment’ of a city. As one of the 65 actions of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, the Monitor wants to support the European Commission’s efforts to put culture at the heart of its policy agenda through evidence and success stories in cities. Under the Cultural Vibrancy domain of the Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor there is one dimension - D1.1 Cultural Venues & Facilities - which includes explicit mentions about the fact that participation in cultural activities enhances the connection people have to each other and to the place, and improves their creative skills and psychological well-being.
