Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Original and
thought-provoking, this book investigates how creative experiences,
interactions, and place-specific dynamics and contexts are shaping
the expanding field of creative tourism across the globe. Exploring
the evolution of research in this field, the authors investigate
pathways for future research that advance conceptual questions and
pragmatic issues. Bringing together an array of international
perspectives and research approaches, this book investigates the
growing synergies between creativity and tourism. Contributors from
a variety of disciplines utilize key case studies to examine the
development of creative tourism in both the global North and South,
including: World Heritage Sites in Malaysia; small communities in
Thailand; small town 'creative outposts' in Canada;
community-engaged projects in rural Russia; Gangneung, Korea's
'coffee city'; the pioneering creative tourism city of Santa Fe;
and a participatory museum in Croatia. Both the growing diversity
and scope of creative tourism and the expanding body of literature
on this topic makes this timely Research Agenda a vital read for
scholars of tourism studies, especially as it offers much-needed
suggestions of areas for future research, at doctoral and
post-doctoral levels. Tourism policy makers and creative tourism
practitioners will also find this a useful read. Contributors: M.

Cultural Sustainability, Tourism and Development considers how
tourism provides a lens to examine issues of cultural
sustainability and change. It discusses how cultural and natural
assets, artistic interventions, place identity, policy strategies,
and community well-being are intertwined in (re)articulations of
place and local dynamics that occur in tourist locations. With a
primary focus on culture in sustainable development, the book
clarifies connections between culture as a core dimension of local
sustainability and cultural dimensions of sustainable tourism. It
highlights the roles and place of cultural expression, artistic
activity, and heritage resources in local or regional sustainable
development contexts. Chapters critically examine the dimensions of
tourism-invoked dynamics of change and the cultural impacts of
tourism-related activities. The book concludes with proposals for
new culture-informed and creativity-based approaches, mediations,
and relations to encourage a better balance between visitors and
residents' quality of life and the broader sustainability of the
area. Interdisciplinary and international in scope, contributions
reflect on communities and rural areas located in Brazil, Canada,
Croatia, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
and the United States. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of cultural development and policy, heritage
studies, cultural tourism and sustainable tourism, cultural
geography, and regional development.
Making space for imagination can shift research and community
planning from a reflective stance to a "future forming" orientation
and practice. Cultural mapping is an emerging discourse of
collaborative, community-based inquiry and advocacy. This book
looks at artistic approaches to cultural mapping, focusing on
imaginative cartography. It emphasizes the importance of creative
process that engages with the "felt sense" of community
experiences, an element often missing from conventional mapping
practices. International artistic contributions in this book reveal
the creative research practices and languages of artists, a
prerequisite to understanding the multi-modal interface of cultural
mapping. The book examines how contemporary artistic approaches can
challenge conventional asset mapping by animating and honouring the
local, giving voice and definition to the vernacular, or
recognizing the notion of place as inhabited by story and history.
It explores the processes of seeing and listening and the
importance of the aesthetic as a key component of community
self-expression and self-representation. Innovative contributions
in this book champion inclusion and experimentation, expose
unacknowledged power relations, and catalyze identity formation,
through multiple modes of artistic representation and performance.
It will be a valuable resource for individuals involved with
creative research methods, performance, and cultural mapping as
well as social and urban planning.
This edited collection provides an introduction to the emerging
interdisciplinary field of cultural mapping, offering a range of
perspectives that are international in scope. Cultural mapping is a
mode of inquiry and a methodological tool in urban planning,
cultural sustainability, and community development that makes
visible the ways local stories, practices, relationships, memories,
and rituals constitute places as meaningful locations. The chapters
address themes, processes, approaches, and research methodologies
drawn from examples in Australia, Canada, Estonia, the United
Kingdom, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Palestine, Portugal,
Singapore, Sweden, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United
States, and Ukraine. Contributors explore innovative ways to
encourage urban and cultural planning, community development,
artistic intervention, and public participation in cultural
mapping-recognizing that public involvement and artistic practices
introduce a range of challenges spanning various phases of the
research process, from the gathering of data, to interpreting data,
to presenting "findings" to a broad range of audiences. The book
responds to the need for histories and case studies of cultural
mapping that are globally distributed and that situate the practice
locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
The concept of sustainable development is commonly divided into
environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. While a
variety of international actors have declared the importance of
culture in sustainable development, jointly articulating this
clearly has been difficult. For example, the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) that were adopted by the UN General
Assembly in September 2015 contained only the most fleeting mention
of culture. None of the SDGs referred directly to the case for
integrating culture into sustainable development planning and
decision-making. The role of cultural policy has remained unclear.
This book contributes to a better understanding of the role of
culture in achieving sustainability, focusing on the particular
roles for cultural policy in this context. Cultural sustainability
is conceptualised as the sustainability of cultural and artistic
practices and patterns, and to the role of cultural traits and
actions to inform and compose part of the pathways towards more
sustainable societies. The links between culture and sustainable
development are analysed in ways that articulate and contemplate
different roles for cultural policy. The contributors take up the
concerns and perspectives of international, national, and local
authorities and actors, illuminating ways in which these
multi-scale efforts both intersect and diverge. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the International
Journal of Cultural Policy.

European cities are contributing to the development of a more
sustainable urban system that is capable of coping with economic
crises, ecological challenges and social disparities in different
nation-states and regions throughout Europe. This book reveals in a
pluralistic way how European cities are generating new approaches
to their sustainable development, and the special contribution of
culture to these processes. It addresses both a deficit of
attention to small and medium-sized cities in the framework of
European sustainable development, and an underestimation of the
role of culture, artistic expression and creativity for integrated
development of the city as a prerequisite to urban sustainability.
On the basis of a broad collection of case studies throughout
Europe, representing a variety of regionally specific cultural
models of sustainable development, the book investigates how
participative culture, community arts, and more generally,
creativity of civic imagination are conducive to the goal of a
sustainable future of small and medium-sized cities. This is an
essential volume for researchers and postgraduate students in urban
studies, cultural studies, cultural geography and urban sociology
as well as for policymakers and practitioners wanting to understand
the specificity of European cities as hubs of innovation,
creativity and artistic industriousness.
