Cities, Museum and Soft Power

Includes 32 practical strategies for museums and cities to activate their soft power and create thriving and sustainable communities.

Thirteen of the world's leading museum and cultural experts from six continents explore the many facets of soft power in cities and museums: how it amplifies civic discourse, accelerates cultural change, and contributes to contextual intelligence among the great diversity of city dwellers, visitors, and policy makers. Gail Lord and I urge city governments to embrace museums which so often are the signifiers of their cities, increasing real estate values while attracting investment, tourists, and creative workers.
