Creative City Book Is Published

Research and teaching on cultural case studies of  Glasgow and Portland has resulted in the publication of The Creative City. Connecting People, Place and Identity by the Glasgow School of Art. Led by Mackintosh Professor Brian Evans and Fulbright Professor Rudy Barton, the students analyzed characteristics that define creative cities worldwide and how they drive economic development and quality of life. The class also compared and contrasted urban attributes of Glasgow and Portland, including public space, café culture, street food, and riverfront amenities.
