Quantitative and economic impacts of the project

The report presents the key quantitative data and the total economic impact of the project Shared Cities: Creative Momentum (SCCM) on all six European countries involved, it describes some of long-term and non-economic impacts and it also explains, how the methodology and the tools developed can be used for future cultural and creative projects. Shared Cities: Creative Momentum assisted Central European cities in finding innovative ways of urban planning and policy-making. Another ambition of the project was to show urban citizens that their participation and cooperation is essential for creating a pleasant and valuable urban environment. SCCM brought together 11 organizations from 7 cities in 6 countries – Belgrade (Serbia), Berlin (Germany), Bratislava (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), Katowice, Warsaw (Poland) and Prague (the Czech Republic) - to create a space for architecture, art, urbanism and the sharing economy and to contribute to the transformation of urban life.

The aim of this report is to present the impacts on four countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia) individually and then quantify the total economic impacts of the project on all involved countries and their economies (those four countries plus Germany and Slovakia), as demanded by the project partner Czech Centres, who commissioned this evaluation. The report also presents the methodology and ready-to-use models applicable for future creative projects in four countries.
