PAST EVENT

The Talk Cultural Planning
In Urban Communities

As more people migrate to urban centres, more thought is given to increase the quality of life for both residents and visitors through numerous interventions. Be it policy, guidelines, creative industries or public programming. Implemented practices indicate an increase in satisfaction when there is a wider community engagement and interaction through experiencing arts and culture. We shed light on some of the experiences and lessons learned from common interventions in community building through arts and culture.
