Symposium Culture for Cohesion

Professor Pier Luigi Sacco is one of the world’s leading experts on Cultural Economics. His extensive research shows that culture not only increases economic growth and creates jobs but, above all, it creates cohesion among citizens and increases capacity in society building. Culture 3.0 crosses traditional political boundaries and affects various political fields, such as business, social issues, education and cultural policy. Culture is increasingly affecting the social and economic life of cities and regions.
