Find out the key insights and action proposals from the ReCrAfting Cities event, held on 6 December 2023.
On 6 December 2023, CrAFt organised the ReCrAFting Cities online session, bringing together 11 speakers and 160 city representatives, cultural professionals and policymakers. The event focused on how arts and culture can make cities more inclusive, creative, and sustainable.
More specifically, the event addressed the following three main questions:
- How can arts and culture make cities more inclusive, sustainable and beautiful?
- How can city representatives and cultural operators improve their cooperation for the benefit of more inclusive, sustainable and beautiful cities?
- What role do arts and culture play in the framework of the New European Bauhaus and broader EU policies addressing environmental sustainability and the urban transition?
Our speakers shared stories and ideas about using art to improve city life, including successful cases of inclusive fashion, multifunctional community spaces, and renewal of industrial complexes, schools and churches.
City representatives and policymakers from city, regional and EU levels got actively involved in the event, showing a strong interest in using art to address city challenges. All participants agreed on the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation and stakeholder involvement to make cities better for everyone.
