The Routledge Handbook of Urban Cultural Planning

CCI is proud to announce The Routledge Handbook of Urban Cultural Planning, a comprehensive survey of current thinking and best practices in urban cultural planning and culturally informed city planning. The new publication features 40 original contributions from leading thinkers and practitioners, including an essay by CCI President & CEO Angie Kim, titled Financing A Diverse Future through Community Ownership.

The Routledge Handbook of Urban Cultural Planning is the first effort to thoroughly examine how culture intersects with other areas of urban planning and policy including housing, economic development, transportation, climate change and sustainability, civic engagement, and public and mental health.
