dc.description.abstractOver the last decade, the Creative City has become a dominant paradigm, a neoliberal, and meta-narrative of how creativity can be used to economically stimulate and develop the city. The ideas behind the Creative City have influenced cultural policy-making practices around the globe and have been a driving influence in Canadian civic arts policy since its inception. From this time, Canadian cities have been transforming how they live with the arts, primarily through policy and funding practices that emphasize private over public investment, and that position the arts not as a social commitment but as an instrument of economic development. My research, which focuses on the implementation of Creative City policy in Calgary, investigates how the Creative City paradigm impacts funding practices, policymakers interpretation and definition of culture, and the ways in which it has, and continues to shape the role of the arts within the city.en_US
