22 September 2011, Delft, The Netherlands

Delft University of Technology, department of Urbanism and Deltametropolis Association invite you to the International Perspectives: cultural clusters.

Bernd Fesel is the Deputy Director of the European Centre for Creative Economy and was the Creative Industries Advisor for the European Capital of Culture Ruhr 2010.

For all the cities of Randstad Holland, the creative industry is an important focus. The competition between cities within Randstad Holland (RSH) implies that RSH is disregarding that the real opponents for attracting creative entrepreneurs in North-West Europe are cities like London or Paris.

Could combining the efforts of the various cities to the scale of the RSH region improve the international attractiveness of Randstad Holland? And if so, how can cultural clusters in the various cities support this international perspective?
