World Cities Culture Trends 2024

World Cities Culture Forum is a global network of civic leaders from over 40 creative cities from across six continents.

As a result of the World Cities Culture Summit hosted in São Paulo on 25-27 October 2023 under the theme ‘Culture, Courage and Leadership for a New World’, the report World Cities Culture Trends in 2024 focuses on the most urgent challenges faced by the world’s leading creative cities today, covering topics from AI to health, democracy, injustices, cultural ecosystem, resilience, technology, and green infrastructures development.

This report, related to new emerging #trends for 2024, underlines how culture can support communities, improving health and wellbeing, attracting tourists, and boosting economies.

Culture plays a key role for cities in addressing urgent priorities, from driving sustainable growth and inspiring climate actions, imagining, and realising low-carbon and climate resilient futures, to helping communities adapt to climate impacts, protects places, and offering green, circular, and regenerative solutions.

Moreover, Culture has the power to help people fighting historic inequality and bringing communities together.
