5th report: Cities, cultures and developments
The fifth report of the Committee on Culture of UCLG World Secretariat are pleased to announce 'Cities, cultures and developments'. A report that marks the fifth anniversary of Agenda 21 for culture.
This report aims to give evidence of some of the cities that have been active in the promotion or the implementation of this declaration, as well as to collect and organise some of the ideas that could articulate the work of the Committee on culture, and aid UCLG as a whole, for the next five years.
The report is made up of twenty articles. Twelve articles have been written by prominent officials and officers developing their activity in cities, local governments and associations that are closely related to Agenda 21 for culture, such as Jordi Martí with Carles Giner (Barcelona), Bettina Heinrich (Berlin), Hernán Lombardi (Buenos Aires), Kurt Eichler (Dortmund), Asma Chaabi (Essaouira), Catherine Cullen (Lille), Jean-Robert Choquet with Marie-Eve Bonneau (Montréal), Christopher Hudson (Local Government and Shires Associations of New South Wales), Biljana Mickov (Novi Sad), Sergius Gonzaga (Porto Alegre), Judy Spokes with Aunty Joan Hendriks (Redland City) and Paz Sánchez Zapata (Seville). Seven articles have been written by researchers, activists and distinguished personalities from the civil society, as Simon Brault, Irena Guidikova, Jon Hawkes, Lupwishi Mbuyamba, Christine Merkel, Teixeira Coelho and Gottfried Wagner with Philipp Dietachmair. An introduction completes the report.
The Spanish Development Cooperation Agency, the AECID, has firmly supported the drawing up this report. Should you require any further information, contact the secretariat of the Committee: agenda21cultura@bcn.cat or +34 933 161 009
