Focus Tracks are 90-minute sessions. Five presenters will each give an 8-minute presentation from their specific context, tailored to fit the session topic. This is followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A. Two Focus Tracks will run concurrently, repeated on 21 and 22 May. This Track focuses on cultural districts that develop organically from grassroots initiatives. It brings together leaders from different geographies to explore how these “bottom-up” projects can succeed in leveraging and pulling together various stakeholders around a shared vision to transform their area into vibrant, inclusive multifaceted ecosystems.
