Cultural districts are playing a key cultural and social role throughout the world in the twenty-first century. They offer an incomparable density of art and culture and have a profound influence on the development of cities and regions. "World Culture Districts" presents the first-ever overview of this phenomenon, featuring fifteen of the most important cultural districts on six continents. The range of different kinds of cultural districts and their respective influence on space and society is revealed, and essays by international experts such as Gail Lord, Adrian Ellis, Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, Vitus H. Weh and Christian Strasser shed light on current issues surrounding their development and impact.

You’re invited to take a ‘Culture Break’ this Friday September 10, at 12pm EST, with Season 2 of Lord Cultural Resources video series that offers a cultural appetizer and entree all in under ten minutes.

Join Gail Lord as she reflects on the origins of Lord Cultural Resources and the role of modern museums today, in these two interviews hosted by Level5 Strategy, a leading Toronto-based strategy and transformation consulting firm.
