About World Cities Culture Forum

The World Cities Culture Forum is the leading network of creative cities and civic leaders who share a belief in the importance of culture for creating thriving cities. Founded in 2012 by the Mayor of London to coincide with the London Olympic Games, the World Cities Culture Forum began as a network of eight global cities. Over the last decade, the network has grown to 40 global cities spanning six continents, collectively representing 172m people. Together, we are meeting the challenges of the 21st century by placing culture at the heart of city planning and investment. Our annual World Cities Culture Summit convenes a global network of civic leaders to exchange ideas and share best practice in cultural policymaking. We also conduct comparative research with city partners to build a strong evidence base about the wide-ranging ways in which culture impacts on a world city and its inhabitants. OUR VALUES • We believe in the power of culture to transform people, place and planet. • We empower global civic leaders to create the equitable, prosperous and sustainable global cities of the future. • We are generous with our ideas and collaborate to drive change.
