I’m pleased to share the publication of our article, “The Cultural District Between Planning and Spontaneity: The Agglomeration Dynamics in Manifattura delle Arti in Bologna,” co-authored with Valeria Morea, in the European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes. The study investigates the agglomeration dynamics of a planned cultural district. Through 14 interviews with key stakeholders, we explore a core policy dilemma: can spontaneity be planned? Our findings reveal a spontaneous subcluster of grassroots organizations and highlight the crucial role of civil society in urban regeneration and inclusion.

How do we keep a culture of inclusion alive? I often hear people wondering what else companies can do beside fundamental DEIB training. I love BWBR's monthly Equity Cafe's wide range of topics. Check out the October video link below. What is the purpose of BWBR's Equity Committee? To mitigate barriers to opportunity, to foster critical thinking about equitable practice, to challenge business-as-usual norms, to create a safe environment for discussion, and maintain an equity lens, through which we see unconscious inequities. Our goal is to make BWBR a diverse and inclusive environment where all our staff develop and thrive. https://lnkd.in/gQE97nen

𝙂𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 ✨ Every city—within and beyond our membership—has its specific DNA that is the result of its history, its geography and, of course, the people who live there! 🧬 While every city is unique, they also tend to face a range of common challenges, and this is 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘺 why urban leaders must exchange ideas and strategies 🏙️🤝 The #POLISPoliticalGroup is the space we created for our #membership to have these conversations. While Europe embarks on a challenging transition towards #SustainableMobility, this space becomes even more important, as mentioned by Hanneke Steen-Klok, Deputy Mayor for Mobility at Gemeente Hengelo and Region #Twente🎙️ #LeadersInAction #InnovativeMobility
