Creative Cities Summit 2.0 is a next-generation look at how communities around the world are integrating innovation, social entrepreneurship, sustainability, arts and culture and business to make vibrant economies. The summit brings together change agents including architects, designers, urban planners, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, students, educators and community leaders to share their experiences, projects, successes and failures as together we re-imagine our cities.
Summit topics will include: Developing Entrepreneurship & Talent, Creating a Sense of Place, Encouraging Diversity of Thinking and of Being, and Establishing Green and Sustainable Communities.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Cool Cities initiative, part of the MSHDA Urban Revitalization division, is a key organizer for the conference. The initial Creative Cities Summit held in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2004, was one of the first creative economy events in the United States.
