Abstract:
The Creative City Index, developed by Charles Landry and Jonathan Hyams, is a method for assessing cities holistically. This helps assess their creative abilities and potential, a precondition for downstream innovations and economic and cultural vigour. This strategic tool provides a rounded framework for thinking so good policies become easier to achieve. Doing the Index, which 20 cities have done, helps generate a narrative for a city by highlighting what it needs to achieve.
