If creative cities are the end, cultural planning is the means.

Creativity and culture build local economies. Across Ontario municipalities are turning to municipal cultural planning (MCP) to support culture-led economic and community development. MCP is a tool for identifying what is unique about a community and using it for economic prosperity and improved quality of life.

This website is a resource for municipalities interested in learning more about MCP and the opportunities it offers their communities.
