Creative, Diverse & Vibrant City
 

Capturing the value of London's heritage, culture, arts and diversity to define and strengthen the city's unique identity is key to a number of community consultation initiatives currently underway.
 

CULTURE & SUSTAINABILITY
 

Culture, in all its dimensions, is a fundamental ingredient of sustainable development. As a sector of activity, through tangible and intangible heritage, creative industries, talent of all ages and diversity, and various forms of artistic expressions, culture is a powerful contributor to economic prosperity and quality of life. As a repository of knowledge, meanings and values that permeate all aspects of our lives, culture also defines the way people live and interact within our community.

London developed it first cultural plan in 2005. Now, in 2012, we are asking you to build on the successes we have achieved and help us forge new directions with culture in our city. London's Cultural Prosperity Plan will be a strategic document that will leverage London's cultural initiatives and seek new innovative ways to align culture and creativity with economic development. The plan will identify municipal and community priorities for strengthening the cultural sector and elevate its role in sustainable city-building. The new plan will rely heavily on input received received from a highly interactive and collaborative process generating a vision, and providing a set of guiding principals and actions for culture in London.
