Dear Editor,
“Cultural elites tend to live in cities, bound together by a shared cultural capital, and themselves playing some role in governance.
By virtue of their status as centers of culture and literacy cities can be described as the locus of civilization, human history, and social change ....
Today, a city’s promotion of its cultural activities dovetails with place branding, and city marketing, public diplomacy techniques used to inform development strategy: to attract businesses, investors, residents, and tourists; and to create a shared identity and sense of place within the metropolitan area.”
