Cities carry the potential for creating new forms of diverse cultural expressions as sources of employment, creative economic and innovation. Culture has the power to make cities more prosperous, safer and sustainable. Creativity can generate broader opportunities for cultural professionals and organizations to promote social inclusion. It also has significant economic impacts, providing solutions to several urban challenges, including mobility, urbanism, environment and citizen wellbeing.The diversity and special characteristics of the cultural and creative industries require tailored policies for empowering local development. A cross-cutting approach will support national and local decision-makers in leveraging culture and creativity to an inclusive urban growth in ways never before.The First Gansu Dialogue is the first major opportunity that gathers more than 100 leaders, experts and a wide range of stakeholders from the government, academia, civil society, private sector and the local communities.
