Singapore | Collective Creativity

Singapore promotes its talent base, creative innovation capital and attractiveness to business in a web platform that also explores cultural policy, creativity and creative cities.

It identifies as 'Collective Creativity' the base of talent, education, cross-cultural cosmopolitanism, innovation and attractiveness for international business in Singapore.

A series of Opinion articles by John Howkins and others present interesting perspectives on culture and creativity - both about Singapore in particular and creative cities and cultural policy generally.

"I’m often asked whether a particular city is a ‘creative city’. There are two kinds of answers. One is based on hard data: the number of creative workers and creative companies, or the proportion of the city’s output that is attributable to creative industries. But these figures don’t always match my feelings about whether a city has a creative buzz. Statistics cannot pick up future trends."
