My name is Anne McChlery.
I am a student at Glasgow University studying for
an M.Phil in Urban Regeneration. I have a long term interest in the Arts as
a consumer. I also interested in the role of arts as one of the tools to
regenerate cities. I registered with ambit to widen my knowledge of what is
going on.I am also carrying out research at the moment on the ideas of Richard
Florida the US academic who has proposed a creative capital thesis. He has
proposed the idea that cities that do well in terms of economic regeneration
have the following in common: 1) a solid new technology knowledge sector 2) a
vibrant arts scene 3) an open tolerant society which welcomes people of colour
and ethnic diversity and has a thriving gay and lesbian community. The idea is
that cities like this are attractive to creative people.I am investigating how
this could relate to Glasgow.
