This  ‘Toolkit’  presents  the  outcomes  of  the  North  Sea Region INTERREG IVB project Creative City Challenge (CCC). Its main target group are local and regional policy-makers. It therefore aims

• to  identity  levers  that  policy-makers  can  pull  in  order  to stimulate  creative  city  development  or  the  creative economy in a focused (rather than generic) way;
• to  indicate  constraints  and  points  of  attention  policy-makers should take into account.

The  Toolkit  presents,  in  a  structured  way,  a  number  of  practical ‘tools’ for policy-makers. These tools are inferred, in a bottom-up way, from pilot projects that are being carried out by partners in the  CCC  project,  and  have  been  based  on  the  principle  of transferability  to  other  cities  or  regions.  Many  of  these  projects could  be  either  started  or  take  a  big  step  forward  by  the  CCC project. The toolkit also includes some ‘manuals’ about the use of these tools, to emphasize the nuances and complexities involved in creative city development. Finally, we want to show, and make use of, the broad scope of the projec.
