Let’s All Go to the Park?! Strategies and Practices for Success in Creative Sustainable Cities
Healthy, prosperous people equate to a healthy, smart economy that invests in creative human capital and increases natural capital. How should we prioritize strategies and manage flagship projects to boost investment, achieve sustainable economic growth, and make life in cities better, more interesting, easier, and more enjoyable for residents of all ages and future generations? How are municipal governments working with investors today to improve the quality of the urban environment and people’s well-being, create decent jobs, and make the economy smarter, healthier, and stronger? What plans for the thorough creative transformation of territories have already become a reality? How do responsible corporate partners establish successful alliances with the authorities, creative leaders, and residents when implementing investment projects to transform gloomy areas into lively, green, comfortable park-like public spaces, eco-industrial parks, and agrotechnoparks?
