How do artists and urban spaces interact?
In which way do creatives shape our cities and what impulses can they provide for urban development?

Urban development projects aiming to foster the synergies between economic, cultural and social purposes are gaining new attention and importance. And in this process, designers, artists, and creative agencies are at the center – opening up places of encounter and reflection.

The conference will discuss the visions and means policy makers and creatives apply to shape our cities as attractive locations and social spaces:

What strategies do urban development specialists pursue between economic development and the common good?
Under what conditions do inspiring places emerge and foster innovation as well as new forms of collaboration?
What role does the city play for creatives, as a living and working space and as the content of artistic work?
To what extent is the shaping of urban spaces with and through art, cultural and creative industries a locational advantage that contributes to the sustainable development of the city?
