"Urban and regional planners, elected officials, and other
decisionmakers are increasingly focused on what makes places
livable. Access to the arts inevitably appears high on that list,
but knowledge about how culture and the arts can act as a tool of
economic development is sadly lacking. This important sector must
be considered not only as a source of amenities or pleasant
diversions, but also as a wholly integrated part of local
economies. Employing original data produced through both
quantitative and qualitative research, Creative Communities
provides a greater understanding of how art works as an engine for
transforming communities. ""Without good data and analysis-much of
it grounded in economic theory-we cannot hope to strengthen
communities through the arts or to achieve any of the other goals
we set for the National Endowment for the Arts, the largest
nationwide funder of the arts."" -from the Foreword by Rocco
