Why culture should be at the heart of future public policy

Culture should be placed at the heart of future public policy, according to a report published to coincide with the second International Culture Summit held recently in Edinburgh.

The Summit organisers invited Culture Ministers, policymakers, artists and commentators to contribute to a wide-ranging conversation across three interlinked topics: to ponder the principles by which culture is valued and measured; to survey and assess a number of international conventions for the promotion and protection of cultural diversity; and to consider the role of cities as incubators of cultural innovation.
