00:09 We are living in a world of rapid transformation.

00:11 On the one hand,

00:12 we are seeing rapid urbanization with 60% of the

00:15 world population expected to live in cities by 2030.

00:18 On the other hand,

00:19 digital technologies

00:21 and the intangible economy

00:22 are creating experiential transformation of our industries

00:25 and our way of living.

00:28 Creative talent and creative industries are at the core of this transformation,

00:32 and they can become a driving force

00:34 of generating livable and sustainable cities.

00:37 This is what the concept of creative cities is all about,

00:40 which this Kyoto case study that we present to you today explores in detail.

00:46 The report is very innovative

00:48 as it packages lessons from the actual case in Kyoto.

00:53 It features how creative community is formed

00:56 and how community is transforming the neighborhood.

01:00 It's very practical

01:01 for urban practitioners

01:03 who are eager to learn

01:05 how to package

01:06 and leverage

01:07 the creative assets in their city.

01:10 There are 3 core impact areas of creative cities

01:14 local economic development,

01:15 urban transformation,

01:17 and social inclusion.

01:18 With the appropriate enabling environment,

01:20 this new approach could build creative hubs in

01:23 cities that could become the local economic and social

01:26 growth engines of the future.

01:28 Kyoto embodies many elements of creativity.

01:32 It's home to many UNESCO heritage sites

01:36 and its society and economy views,

01:38 cultural traditions,

01:40 creative communities,

01:41 and global technology trends.

01:44 The trend started a decade ago with digital business emergence

01:48 followed by development of intangible economy,

01:51 new wave of creative industries,

01:53 entrepreneurship,

01:54 innovation was seen.

01:56 The creative communities are concentrated in the Kyoto Station area,

02:01 which we called as

02:03 West area

02:04 and East area.

02:06 East area

02:07 has established community

02:10 of creative talent in the industries.

02:13 The spread of the creative community occurred very organically.

02:18 The creative space serving as catalyzers,

02:22 amplifiers,

02:23 and contributors triggered the growth of creative community.

02:28 We investigated in detail and created a catalog.

02:31 Waste area is still developing.

02:35 With presence of strong catalyzer

02:38 in the area,

02:38 it is showing some early stages

02:41 of the new creative community development in place.

02:46 So

02:47 what are the key lessons on the city's role from this case study?

02:51 There are 4 key lessons.

02:53 First one,

02:54 Kyoto preserved and cultivated its creative and cultural heritage.

02:58 Second,

02:59 Kyoto also took larger urban regeneration projects such as

03:03 the relocation of Kyoto City University of Arts.

03:06 Third,

03:07 the city did all of this engaging residents in the process.

03:11 And 4th,

03:12 Kyoto provided a strategic support

03:14 to catalyzers.

We are living in a world of rapid transformation. On the one hand, we are seeing rapid urbanization with 60% of the world population expected to live in cities by 2030. On the other hand, digital technologies and the intangible economy are creating experiential transformation of our industries and our way of living. Creative talent and creative industries are at the core of this transformation, and they can become a driving force of generating livable and sustainable cities.

It's very practical for urban practitioners who are eager to learn how to package and leverage the creative assets in their city.
