Creative Places + Spaces
Building on a legacy is never easy. Building on the legacy of legendary urban activist and writer Jane Jacobs is particularly daunting.
When the Creative Places + Spaces conferences debuted in October 2003, Jane Jacobs, Richard Florida and 50 other speakers led a captivated delegation from across Canada, the U.S. and U.K. in an exchange about the growing importance of creativity to cities and the new economy. It was a watershed event in the advancement of the creative cities movement in Canada, which expanded in 2005 with the second offering in the conference series.
The dialogue continued in Toronto last week at Creative Places + Spaces 2009 with study tours, dynamic keynotes, provocative panels, video spotlights and breakout sessions for a national and international audience gathered over two days at the Carlu and MaRS.
