How can small cities make an impact in a globalizing world dominated by ‘world cities’ and urban development strategies aimed at increasing agglomeration? This book addresses the challenges of ...smaller cities trying to put themselves on the map, attract resources and initiate development. Placemaking has become an important tool for driving urban development that is sensitive to the needs of communities. This volume examines the development of creative placemaking practices that can help to link small cities to external networks, stimulate collaboration and help them make the most of the opportunities presented by the knowledge economy. The authors argue that the adoption of more strategic, holistic placemaking strategies that engage all stakeholders can be a successful alternative to copying bigger places. Drawing on a range of examples from around the world, they analyse small city development strategies and identify key success factors. This book focuses on the case of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, a small Dutch city that used cultural programming to link itself to global networks and stimulate economic, cultural, social and creative development. It advocates the use of cultural programming strategies as a more flexible alternative to traditional top-down planning approaches and as a means of avoiding copying the big city.

V prispevku avtorica obravnava in s primeri ponazarja mednarodno prakso izobraževanja odraslih, ki z na videz nenavadnimi, inovativnimi pristopi animira in skozi prakso usposablja za demokratično ...državljanstvo skupine ljudi, sicer potisnjene ob rob družbenih dogajanj in odločanja. Gre za neformalno izobraževanje odraslih, ki z glasbo, likovno in besedno umetnostjo bogatijo proces medsebojnega učenja. Vse to spodbuja posameznikovo in skupinsko samozavest in pomaga razvijati kompetence, pomembne za aktivno in demokratično državljanstvo. Mednarodne konference, ki jih pogosto prvič pripravljajo tudi člani manjših organizacij in društev, na primer v okviru projektov Grundtvig, so za mnoge učna izkušnja in priložnost za promocijo ter spoznavanje »dobrih rešitev« za konkretne probleme izobraževanja odraslih. Z neposredno izkušnjo načrtovanja in sodelovanja v projektih se tudi na osnovi napak, problemov in konfliktov učijo sodelovati. Hkrati pa bogatijo medsebojne odnose in izgrajujejo prijateljstvo med izobraževalci, udeleženci in prostovoljci iz različnih evropskih držav.
