EU CURE Project CURE stands for ‘Creative Urban

Renewal in Europe’. It is an EU-funded project (INTERREG IVB NWE)

Aims to facilitate triggered growth of the creative economy in decayed urban areas in medium-sized cities in Northwest-Europe

This will be done by developing and testing the innovative transnational model ‘Creative Zone Innovator’ to plan and to develop creative zones.

The project brings together 7 project partners in Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the UK.

WHAT ARE THE VALUES OF CITY-LIFE

Page 13: Rk finland

24-1-2013 13

• Developed for and by the industrial economy• Separation of 'working' and 'living' through zoning• Powers are restrictive, not permissive: 'you can’t', rather than 'you can'• Professionalized: ‘planner knows best'• City is struggling under its own weight, unable to adapt quickly enough to changing global, social economic environment• Rational/analytical, more than ‘understanding’

The creative ecosystem includes arts and culture, nightlife, the music scene, restaurants, artists and designers, innovators, affordable spaces, lively neighbourhoods, spirituality, density, public spaces etc.

1. Strengthen your creative assets and encourage collaboration.

2. Continue revitalizing your downtown areas as nodes of creativity.

3. Develop an infrastructure that will improve the quality of life for residents and attract the creative class (hiking and cycling trails, festivals, development of cultural assets, ways to celebrate the waterfront etc. )

INVESTING IN THE CREATIVE ECOSYSTEM

Diversity gives birth to creativity, innovation and positive economic impact.People of different backgrounds and experiences contribute a diversity of ideas, expressions, talents and perspectives that enrich vital communities.

1.Develop a strong tourism and information infrastructure because it will be your first link with people coming from outside your community.

2. Attract new immigrants – one in every two children in Amsterdam will be immigrants by 2020. Develop an immigration attraction strategy, e.g. develop a new immigrant welcoming package.

EMBRACE DIVERSITY

Take Responsibility for Change

1.Work together to develop your creative infrastructure – the voices and ideas of both local citizens and government need to be embraced.

2.Focus on mutual goals and develop a strategy that focuses on economic development goals, marketing and promotions, infrastructure and building local capacity.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL DIMENSION

Page 22: Rk finland

Entrepreneurial behaviour:The Creation of Economic, Social and Cultural Value

cultural fabric of the Creative Industry thrives on numerous small initiatives

high share of freelancers and very small companies.

new type of employer is emerging; the ‘entrepreneurial individual’ or ‘entrepreneurial cultural worker’

no longer fits into typical patterns of full-time professions (EU job potential 2001)

• Social capital: resources based on group membership, relationships, networks of influence and support; clusters

• Economic capital: command over economic resources (cash, assets); based on entrepreneurial capabilities and support

• Cultural capital: forms of knowledge; skill; education and language skills

• The urban perspective: choose your position in the urban nomad chain ; use support functions
