In order to counter the challenges of reducing social resources, ageing population, social polarisation and urbanisation of European cities and regions, it is necessary to develop cooperation and joint creation between individual sectors. Cultural and Creative Spaces and Cities (2018-2021), is a policy project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the EU. It brings together a consortium of ten organisations led by TEH and aims to prove how creativity, participatory processes and co-design of public policies can transform public spaces and cities.
