Global Cities After Dark welcomes our final keynote speaker, Charles Landry for a very special opening keynote address:
‘FROM A ‘NO, BECAUSE’ TO A ‘YES, IF’ CULTURE: HOW CAN OUR BUREAUCRACIES BE MORE CREATIVE?
Exploring the human perspectives which are at the heart of our city’s systems.
Landry is an author, speaker and Founder of the Creative Cities Index.
He invented the concept of the Creative City in the late 1980’s and his latest major project is the picture driven ‘The Civic City in a Nomadic World’. It brings together his work over the last decade including the concept of ‘civic urbanity’, the ‘creative bureaucracy’ and ‘the management of fragility’.
Opening Global Cities After Dark 2019, Charles’ keynote explores the human perspective which are at the heart of our city’s systems. Bureaucracies are beginning to transform – with bureaucrats across the world attempting to rethink possibilities. The challenge is creating conditions for those working in the bureaucracy that allows people to express their values and trigger their desire to contribute. His keynote highlights how bureaucracies created solely in pursuit of efficiency are extraordinarily wasteful of human effort and talent, and why creative bureaucracies engages people so that they extend their potential and build their energy.
