Cultural policy in creative cities
Cultural policy is one of the factors that determine the conduciveness of a city to the creativity of social groups and individuals. It is directly linked to several dimensions measured almost in all the Creative City Indexes: access to culture, cultural offers and facilities, cultural/creative industries development. Indirectly, it impacts other important dimensions of the creative city: openness, tolerance and diversity. The paper aims to summarize the main features of cultural policy of five cities that have identified creativity as a strategic factor for urban development and lay in top 10 creative EU countries, according to the currently existing creativity indexes. The scope of the analysis is an institutional framework of the cultural policy formation and implementation and the mechanism of the municipal financing of culture. The analysis is based on the publicly available online information: data from the official websites of cities, statistical sources, communications and publications of the cities’ councils, projects’ reports.
