      competitive?
• Political stability
• Law and order
• Physical infrastructure

and increasingly… the cultural offer
Mapping a city’s cultural assets
World Cities Culture Report 2012: 12 cities,
more than 60 indicators

Factors Driving Growth
• Increasing incomes: as households become
wealthier, they spend proportionately more on
creative products and services

• Increasing levels of education and interest in
experiencing culture and creativity

• Digital technologies: new channels and platforms
with opportunities for new products

• Opening up of global markets for cultural products
The London Strategy:
Strengthening the Cultural Offer
  “Culture is to London what the sun is to Spain” – Mayor of
  London

  7 out of 10 visitors to London cite culture as reason for visiting
  London

  Maintaining investment in cultural infrastructure

  Strong focus on festivals and events

  Film tourism is recognised as being increasingly significant
The London Strategy:
Growing the Creative Industries
  Creative industries is the second biggest sector in London
  with £20 billion annual turnover.

  High growth sector; strong export earnings (£13bn per
  year)

  Global Centre for advertising; third biggest film production
  centre in the world

  Aggressive inward investment and promotion strategy for
  key creative industries
Fostering Diversity and Creativity
  • Diversity: Coming together of different styles, cultures,
  creative practices encourage creativity and innovation – it
  also drives tourism

  • Supporting education: world-class art/design institutes
  and HE Institutes, generating thousands of students every
  year

  • Encouraging access: festivals, open houses, education
  programmes
