Glasgow Tops Cultural and Creative Report
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor 2019 report from the European Commission, which names Glasgow as the UK's top cultural and creative city; notes that it looked at 190 cities from across 30 European countries and ranked 29 different aspects of each city’s cultural health, including cultural vibrancy, creative economy and ability to attract creative talent and stimulate cultural engagement; understands that the report named Glasgow as Europe’s leader for openness, tolerance and trust and stated that, although it is considered an industrial city, Glasgow, "was one of the first European Capitals of Culture [and] has now gained recognition as a creative and cultural centre of European importance”; believes that there are huge, diverse, creative and cultural opportunities across the city and that Glaswegians have made an enormous contribution to help prove that “People Make Glasgow”, and commends everyone involved in working to ensure that Glasgow is a leading cultural and creative city.
