Description

Abstract from the publisher:
 
Welcome to the second virtual issue of the Journal of Urban Affairs. This issue highlights recent research exploring culture, creativity and the connections between mega-events such as the Olympics and culture in the life, economy, and governance of cities around the globe. The first two papers, by Rosdil and Brunet-Jailly discuss the importance of local governing or civic cultures and the relationship between culture and politics and policy-making. The articles by Zheng and Reese and colleagues explore the applications of creative class arguments proposed as economic growth drivers. The final three papers by Ren, Newman, and Broudehoux, and Andranovich and colleagues use the Olympics as a frame but highlight not only the economics surrounding mega-events but also their inherent ties to local host culture and politics. As a group the articles show the complex connections between issues of culture, economics, and politics in cities from Canada to China.
