The World Cities Culture Forum has highlighted the different ways that culture can transform the lives of individuals and communities in a report published this week.
The Transformational Cultural Projects Report focuses on the social impact of culture, as well as the economic benefits it can bring. Case studies from 20 cities  including London, Buenos Aires, Shanghai and Istanbul  illustrate these impacts across six themes: resilient communities; social inclusion; urban revitalisation; distinctive identity; participation; and innovation.
