World Cities Culture Report 2018 (WCCR)
The World Cities Culture Report 2018 showcases innovative programmes and policies, as well as key trends and infrastructure projects taking place across the globe. In the face of a changing world order, it reveals a shared purpose of the role that culture can play in addressing the inclusion of all citizens and a new definition of how, where and by whom culture is experienced.
The Report draws on Create NSW’s Cultural Infrastructure Plan 2025+ as an example of an innovative program which aims to make better use of opportunities across government to establish partnerships between cultural and outside agencies, leading to better use of existing facilities, and the embedding of culture within projects and policy development in other areas of government, such as land-use planning, education, and health.
