CREATIVE SPACES AND CITIES

CO-designing our CITies
​

We believe in a more sustainable future for cities. A future in which the cultural and creative sectors address urban challenges in cooperation with public authorities. Together, they co-design new public policies for the benefit of citizens.

About the project

Cultural and Creative Spaces and Cities (CCSC) is a policy project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. The project brings together a consortium of ten organisations led by Trans Europe Halles, the European network of non-governmental cultural centres. 

With this project, we aim to prove that creativity, arts and culture can transform public spaces and cities. During two years and a half—starting November 2018—, we will connect cultural and creative spaces with local policy-makers through participatory processes.

Together, we will tackle some of the most pressing urban challenges. We will develop, test and validate methods for
local governments to engage their stakeholders in co-design of policies.

​
As a result, civil society and public authorities will develop new policies to improve our cities.​
