> interest.

> Background:
> This issue takes its title and motivation from the declaration of the 2007
> World Congress of United Cities and Local Governments in Jeju, Korea, that
> placed culture as a priority for cities, councils, local government
> associations and communities. Declaration II. 'Act to promote all human
> rights and respect diversity in our cities and territories as a foundation
> for peace and development'. In this declaration, the Congress recognised
> 'that cultural policies form part of the different dimensions of good
> local
> governance in the same way as economic and social development or
> environmental
> protection.' United Cities and Local Governments represents more than
> 1,000
> cities from more than 125 countries worldwide - and the organisation's
> membership is growing. Through its Agenda 21 for culture, UCLG has
> established the first document with a worldwide mission that advocates an
> undertaking by cities and local governments for local cultural
> development. This leadership by a growing number of the world's cities
> provides an important balance between national agendas and the voice of
> local governments and communities.
>
>
> Cultural Development Network based in Melbourne, Australia, advocates a
> stronger role for participatory arts and cultural expression to build a
> healthier, more engaged and sustainable society in which local
> communities,
> in all their diversity, have the resources and support they need to make
> and express their own culture. CDN does this through linking communities,
> artists, local councils and organisation. www.culturaldevelopment.net.au
