Overview
At this Movers and Shakers event speakers, including Creative Estuary’s Emma Wilcox, will be discussing ‘The expanding role of the arts, music & culture in place-shaping – from local neighbourhoods to Global cities’.
As environmental and social value now sits comfortably in the plans for Cities, towns, and individual buildings, and features centrally in investor decision-making; are we ready to include ‘the arts, music and culture’ in our Real Estate plans and investment models?
In London, ‘culture’ in its broadest sense, is estimated to deliver c. £47bn annually for the UK economy; with 1 in 6 people in London believed to now work in the creative industries.
Yet, these industries rarely feature in the development and investment plans for the Capital. Until perhaps, now?… Emerging from a pandemic, that pretty much halted people’s engagement with arts, music and culture; we can see a renewed appreciation of its value to communities. And, the ramifications are more far-reaching than the pure enjoyment we can each experience in this space. Although, we wouldn’t want to underestimate the personal power of this.
