Document Summary
Research on creativity uses a wide range of methods. Weisberg is skeptical about the value of subjective, first- person reports. From the ground up: growing toronto"s cultural sector investigates the fundamental link between culture, economy and place in toronto"s pursuit of long-term prosperity and competitiveness. This report presents a new model for visualizing local cultural resources through the cultural location index and making objective comparisons about relative sizes of the cultural economy across all toronto census tracts. Provides a framework for other cities who want to visualize the cultural economy in their communities. The maps provide tools the city can use to ensure that the strong cultural growth it has experienced in recent decades is sustained and channelled in ways that contribute to toronto"s overall prosperity and economy. Culture impacts: jobs, business, international attraction, quality of life. Jobs and businesses in toronto"s cultural sector are both highly clustered and widely spread.
