Abstract
The concept of creative cities, cultural economy and culture based planning emerged in Europe in 1980’s which emphasized the need for culture based plan and demonstrated its benefits in economic development and urban planning. By 2001 the concept was accepted worldwide and adopted across cities of different sizes. This concept gained significance especially during global recession where cities were made to look for alternative creative approach to generate employment and improve quality of life. Cultural activities singly and collectively have become key factors in urban policy and city planning as they can be used to imitate interconnectedly for urban regeneration, place making, urban design and social planning.
Cultural based planning particularly has impact socially, economically and environmentally.
It promotes strong neighborhoods, promotes innovation, environmental sustainability, public health, lifelong learning, public safety, public life safe and improves quality of life.
Conventional planning so far has been mostly driven with economic goal as the focus with popular strategies based on technologies and global perception. Culture based planning gives niche for each city, region to be creative in defining its own developmental growth (pattern), identifying its own parameters and have unique identity.
