New British Council Report: "Breakthrough Cities"

The British Council, one of our collaborators (see Rita J. King's 2008 essay "The Emergence of a New Global Culture in the Imagination Age") has just released a new report called "Breakthrough Cities" about how to mobilize creativity and knowledge in cities. The report explores a number of different options for facilitating this, including games, and centers around a concept they call the "Urban Ideas Bakery," which is "a 2-3 day creative process for the developing of innovative solutions for social and urban challenges."

It's an easy-to-read report with some good ideas and a refreshingly global perspective. We will follow it with interest.

Thanks Andrew!
