Kultur = Kapital, is the first publication in the "Cultural Clusters as a Commodity for Cities - Plannable and Makeable?" research, which looks into how local cultural clustering works; what is specifically local and what is specifically global?
Other cities, like Amsterdam, often turn to Berlin to try and learn from its success in being a ‘creative city’. The question is: can this success be duplicated somewhere else, and, if yes, how? What interests us are the driving forces behind this supposedly successful creative city – what are the dynamics, the relational character and the issues of governance, and most important: What is specifically ‘local’ and what is specifically global about cultural clustering?
