Ivana Volic
PhD student in Cultural Management and Policy

My spheres of interest are diverse and comprise culture, urban development and tourism. That is reflected in my education - I graduated tourism, then continued academic research in urban planning. Currently I am an PhD student in Cultural Management and Policy, dealing with the interdisciplinary research of public and civil partnerships, new city spaces and creative spaces.

Creative clusters - new city cultural spaces
Creative clusters are a new form of spatial networking of different sectors and activities. They are based on the creative potential of individuals which is unified at the one place of both production and consumption. Such places could contribute to fostering local cultural expression, urban regeneration and local economy. Creative clusters represent places of vibrant city cultural life and are aimed predominantly at members of the local community. By participation and active involvement of local community, those places could become a spots of city's identity, an urban landmarks and a core of creativity and innovation.
