Abstract

This ‘Toolkit’ presents the outcomes of the North Sea Region INTERREG IVB project Creative City Challenge (CCC). Its main target group are local and regional policy-makers. It therefore aims: 1) to identity levers that policy-makers can pull in order to stimulate creative city development or the creative economy in a focused (rather than generic) way; 2) to indicate constraints and points of attention policy-makers should take into account. The Toolkit presents, in a structured way, a number of practical ‘tools’ for policy-makers. These tools are inferred, in a bottom-up way, from pilot projects that are being carried out by partners in the CCC project, and have been based on the principle of transferability to other cities or regions. Many of these projects could be either started or take a big step forward by the CCC project. The toolkit also includes some ‘manuals’ about the use of these tools, to emphasize the nuances and complexities involved in creative city development.
