Publication details: [Rotterdam] : European Institute for Comparative Urban Research (EURICUR) : Erasmus University Rotterdam, 2005Online resources: Summary: The present report is the result of an international research by EURICUR, the European Institute for Comparative Urban Research, based at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. Ten cities have associated in this research, acting both as funding partners and case studies: Amsterdam, Bolzano, Edinburgh, Eindhoven, Klaipeda, Manchester, Rotterdam, Tampere, The Hague, Vienna. The City of Hague is the leader of the network and has been the initiator of this research project. The project focuses on the conceptualisation and analysis of the effects of culture on the economic development trajectories of European cities. It moves from the recognition that culture is a key ingredient of post-industrial, information-intensive economic activity. A culture-oriented economic development is one that integrates the symbolic and creative elements into any aspect of the urban economy, pursuing distinction, innovativeness, and a higher level of interaction between localised individual and social knowledge and globalising markets.
