Creative Growth and placemaking move from policy to practice when strategic frameworks are translated into tangible interventions. At the policy level, this involves recognising culture, heritage, and creativity as drivers of economic growth, job creation and social inclusion. In practice, it means activating public spaces through the arts and supporting creative industries. Our speakers bring this journey to life by sharing diverse and tangible experiences, spanning different perspectives, and illustrating how policy ambitions can be effectively implemented to enhance identity, vibrancy, and sustainable development at the local level.
