Training Day 4: The Art of City Making Print E-mail

Mr Landry said that cities should not seek to be the most creative city in the world or region, but rather the most imaginative cities for the world. He suggested that the skills required to re-enchant a city are far wider than the conventional skills such as architecture, engineering and land use planning.

Following his keynote speech Mr Landry facilitated a workshop on key elements of City Making with participants from various statutory, community and voluntary organisations from across Northern Ireland.
