Transcript of Metropolis 2014
Contemporary cities have only two choices..
either they develop to keep pace with the
changing global scenario or they resist the idea
of transformation & stagnate.
Festive spirits greatly influence on people's
perception of a city. Festivals boost the process of
assimilation, and hence contribute towards rebirth of
non-mainstream urban identity.
Thus creating a melting pot of various subcultures.
Importance of an Urban Festival !Reinvigorating the urban populace, it brings in prosperity to economic,
social and cultural spectrum.
Through cultural activities such as art, music, dance, crafts, exhibitions
and alternate sports-- it creates Cultural wealth and „Symbolic
Economy‟.
Performing arts have always fostered economic growth, especially in
urban cities. At a time when economic systems are no longer
predictable, in order to remain competitive, cities are turning to
strategies that focus on their own innate resources their histories,
spaces, creative energy and talents
There are those who love Culture, Art & Craft,
Film, Music, Adventure & Ethnicity and there are
those
who embody it..are driven by it...and who
LIVE by the RULES of all these...
This is for them !!
