The Role Of Ccis In Regenerating Urban And Rural Space And Economies In Sa - Final
The following report seeks to answer the following questions: What role to cultural and creative industries (CCIs) play in regenerating rural and urban space economies in South Africa? Can creativity and other aspects of the creative and cultural industries become driving forces in the development of urban centres or even rural areas?
The research approach is based on a case study methodology centred on the analysis of four South African examples of creative urban and rural environments. These include two urban settings: Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape) and Cape Town (Western Cape) as well as two located in a rural setting: Hamburg and Nieu-Bethesda (both in the Eastern Cape). Several dimensions of analysis were then defined based on the existing theory, and then used to assess the respective case studies with the aim of identifying key lessons learnt.
