Steve Harding presents CREATIVE METROPOLES at Digital District event

Birmingham’s Digital District will bring together the innovative, learning and creative sectors in the Eastside area of the city through the development of a next generation high-speed broadband infrastructure. On 14 October Birmingham was hosting a seminar in order to gather valuable experience of other major European cities like Berlin, Barcelona and others, creating background for discussing such questions as:

• What are the critical success factors of a digital district?

• What does a digital district look and feel like elsewhere?

• How have digital districts been used to complement the success of established creative quarters?

• What has been the experience of digital districts in the recession and what role do they play in boosting economic growth?

• How have local authorities in Europe worked with stakeholders such as service providers, SMEs, universities and the local community?

• How can Birmingham learn from, and use, the experiences of other European cities?

Local coordinator of CREATIVE METROPOLES in Birmingham Dr Steve Harding participated in the event by presenting CREATIVE METROPOLES project and giving his input in the panel discussion.
