The new economy is knowledge-based, networked, reliant on continuous learning and innovation, and places value on innovation and creativity as a driving force of economic growth. Nowadays, the ability to compete and prosper in the global economy goes beyond the trade of goods, flows of capital, and investments. Instead, it increasingly turns on the capability of nations to attract, retain and develop creative people.
Creativity and New Economy covers strategies, policies and programs that foresee developments, monitor changes, adopt comprehensive approaches, anticipate risks, and consolidate the positive benefits of creativity on the new economy and vice versa, especially with regard to young people and vulnerable groups in society. It explores the interconnectedness of macro and micro-economics with social and cultural life at the local level and considers the nature of these relationships in Canadian cities and regions at the start of the new century.
