Urban and regional planners, elected officials, and other decision-makers are increasingly focused on what makes places "livable." Many factors are involved, including the arts and culture, which make a crucial contribution to community development. But knowledge about arts and culture as a development tool and what works at various urban and regional levels is lacking. Creative Communities offers answers and provides an understanding of "how art works."
Michael Rushton is associate professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, where he directs the program in arts administration. He coedited the Journal of Cultural Economics from 2006 to 2012. Rocco Landesman, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts from 2009 to 2012, is the Tony Award-winning producer of hit Broadway shows such as Angels in America and The Producers.
