CAHORS A MATTER (A STORY) OF CENTRALITY

A few minutes after flying over the Pyrenees, the plane starts its descent to Toulouse airport, the nearest destination to Cahors, one of the small European cities participating in the INT-HERIT project. This project involves and gives name to a network of 9 cities, all committed to the improvement of heritage management at local level as a way of connecting it to their future. In Cahors, the traveller soon discovers the weight of heritage and how for both political representatives and citizens, it is perhaps one of the most important assets when it comes to recovering the centrality of the city for the future, as it was in the past.

What on earth do the arts and culture have to do with climate change?

Claire Buckley, URBACT Lead Expert and Director of Environmental Sustainability at Julie’s Bicycle says time is of the essence.

In the grander scheme of things, the arts and culture sector is not the biggest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. And so, the question from Radio Wrocław “What on earth do the arts and culture have to do with climate change?” to representatives from Manchester (UK) and Wrocław (PL) during a day of exchange on this issue, did not come as a big surprise. It is, however, well worth unpacking and, one at the heart of a new project on how the arts and culture can lead climate action in cities, funded by the EU’s URBACT programme.
