GLOBAL REPORT ON CULTURE FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT
WHAT
The Global Report explores the role of culture for sustainable urban development by analyzing the situation, trends, threats and existing opportunities in different regional contexts. Drawing on the results of a global survey and research papers, the report provides policy framework to support governments in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the New Urban Agenda, focusing on urban heritage safeguarding, conservation and management, as well as the promotion of the cultural and creative industries, as resources for sustainable urban development.
HOW
The Global Report examines the contribution of culture to urban sustainability from two analytical angles: a global survey implemented with nine regional partners across the world and twelve key thematic insights.
The recommendations of the Report, along with more than 100 case studies featured in the publication, provide concrete guidelines and good practices for local and national authorities and civil society, to integrate culture into urban policies as a unique resource for urban regeneration and innovation, and social, economic and environmental development.
WHO
UNESCO is the lead institutional author of the Global report and coordinates a network of partners, including international organizations, universities, research centres, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations, as well as independent experts who contributed chapters of the report. The Global Report would not have been possible without the support of our donors: the Government of Spain and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), and the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government.
"ACCESS TO AND PARTICIPATION IN CULTURAL LIFE IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR well-being. if development is to be fair, inclusive and truly sustainable, PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURES MUST BE PLACED AT ITS HEART."
Ernesto OTTONE R.
Assistant Director-General for Culture of UNESCO
"Development allows humanity to progress but at the same time, it risks destroying culture. We have to realize that we have a very strong rural tradition and that we can preserve that."
