Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is going to represent Delhi and India at the World Cities Cultural Forum (WCCF).
The World Cities Culture Forum is a network of local governments and cultural sector leaders from 39 world cities namely London, New York City, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, Istanbul, Sydney and Johannesburg. The Forum got established in London in 2012.
The forum provides a way for policymakers to share research and intelligence. Further, they can explore the vital role of culture in their future prosperity. The World Cities Culture Forum (WCCF), which BOP convenes, provides a way for policy makers in 38 key cities to share research and intelligence, and explore the vital role of culture in their future prosperity.
It is an initiative of the Mayor of London. BOP Consulting, a specialist consulting firm, is organising and coordinating it. Many city leaders now acknowledge that culture helps create thriving urban centres. And the political and economic influence of the world’s leading cities puts them in a unique position to set a global agenda for sustainable urban development.
The Chief Minister of Delhi will represent India at the World Cities Culture Forum (WCCF). The theme for 2021 is “The Future of Culture”.
Forum members collaborate via a programme of events including themed symposia, regional summits and workshops. These events feed in to the annual World Cities Culture Summit. Hosted on a rotating basis by member cities, this unique gathering allows city leaders to share ideas and knowledge about the role of culture as an organising principle for the sustainable city of the future.
