International

In 2006, Creative London teamed up with the city Government of Toronto in Canada, to organise a multi-city research and exchange project.

Together, delegations from both cities visited New York, Barcelona and Berlin, and a joint research team investigated the development of creative industries strategies in these and a selection of other cities.

A summary of the research is here.

A short report on ‘lessons learned’ can be found here.

And the London study is available here.

Since then, the Mayor’s office has commissioned two further studies looking at international comparisons.
