About this badge
For the first time in human history, the basic logic of the economy dictates that further economic development requires the additional expansion and utilization of human creative capabilities. The principles of economic development--technology, talent, tolerance, and territory assets--offer a strategy for competitiveness in the creative age. Communities must create ecosystems that develop new ideas and that foster cultural, entrepreneurial, civic, scientific, and artistic creativity. This course, which serves as the entry point for the Certificate in Creative Cities and Economic Development, provides practical examples, case studies, and best practices for building creative, inclusive communities.
