Developing Cultural Infrastructure to Support the State’s Cultural Economy
Culture serves as the impulse for economic growth and the formation of a new environment for the development of human capital. In the contemporary world, theatrical cultural infrastructure is increasingly recognized not merely as a social and recreational hub, but also as an appealing investment opportunity, particularly for private investors. Private investments in culture contribute to developing regional economies, creating new jobs, and attracting tourists. Moreover, they serve as a catalyst for attracting government support, creating a synergistic effect that fosters the creation of a conducive environment for human capital development. How can theatre infrastructure emerge as a point for an area’s growth and attract private investment? What positive impacts do flagship cultural projects have on the development of the area and human capital? How do private enterprises and initiatives incentivize state involvement in the financing of cultural facilities?
