“…A number of cities have tried to position themselves through creative sectors such as fashion, architecture and design. Cities following such strategies not only need to attract professionals from these fields through the development of creative or cultural clusters (Evans, 2009) or knowledge-based events (Podestà and Richards, 2017), but they also need to attract creative audiences to enlarge the consumption base for these creative sectors. This is evident in cities such as Austin, where the music industry is a major driver for tourism as well as the live music industry and music-related businesses (Wynn, 2016).…”

“…Festivals are now linked to multiple economic development outcomes including enhanced city branding, boosting the night-time economy, increased tourism, job creation, and regeneration (Gibson et al, 2010;Quinn, 2010). With the ascendance of creative economy policies, researchers also cite the role festivals play in strengthening local arts and cultural industries by catalysing temporary clusters, encouraging networking, collaboration, and innovation (Comunian, 2017b;Gibson et al, 2010;Podestà & Richards, 2018).…”

From Urban Consumption to Production: Rethinking the Role of Festivals in Urban Development Through Co-Creation

Festivals infuse art and culture into the physical transformation of public spaces to support economic development, social capital, and urban vibrancy. Although these impacts align with urban planning, these projects typically engage actors outside the field such as community organisations, businesses, and artists, reflecting cultural and creative economies, where different values, motivations, and practices are continually negotiated through processes of co-creation. However, institutional planning practices have not yet effectively engaged with cultural production processes to maximise the social, cultural, and economic impacts of arts-led development. To explore this potential, this research uses participatory, co-productive methodologies to analyse the Bristol Light Festival, a collaborative partnership between business interests, city staff, and creative producers. The article begins with a discussion of the often contradictory role festivals play in urban development, followed by a discussion of creative and cultural ecologies and an overview of the co-creation process. Drawing on festival participant survey and interview data, the article discusses how the festival generated new forms of belonging in the city and other impacts that are often invisible within dominant arts-led development strategies. The article concludes with a discussion of findings relating cultural ecologies and co-creation to urban planning practice.

“…We see this reflected in cities through the growth in co-working spaces and the proliferation of pop-up concepts. Events are also becoming more important as creative drivers -for example in the role of knowledge-based festivals in driving regional development (PODESTÀ;. JP: You are the author of the concept "Creative Tourism".…”

DIÁLOGO

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents a conversation between Greg Richards and Jorge Piqué on the development of creative districts and their links to creative tourism. The discussion ranged from the genesis of creative districts and creative tourism to contemporary challenges of creative placemaking. It includes a consideration of the development of cultural tourism, and how creative tourism emerged as a separate field of analysis in the new Millennium. As places have sought to distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive global market, they have turned to creativity as a source of inspiration. Tourists tired of standardised products and crowded cultural sites have sought out the more localised experiences provided by creative districts and creative tourism. Creative districts have therefore become a vital tool for placemaking, providing access to the ‘extraordinary everyday’ and generating new models of creative tourism.
