1 In searching of Vilnius identity: between arts and business,

2 Urban attributes City planners use of distinctive features in order to encourage city s revival Urban attributes and devices have been mobilized to boosting investment, employment and population, including vibrant cultural amenities and social environments, architectural heritage, scientific advances and even celebrity endorsements 2

3 Built environment The built environment isan important object of economic policy in cities, reflecting the significance of buildings in accommodating urban growth Property is a key issue in business performance and location decisions. The built environment are a potent means of differentiation between cities The preservation and restoration of unique historic buildings has been a big advantage for old cities. Other cities have had to work harder to rehabilitate disused ports and industrial warehouses, to create new flagship developments, or to rediscover and maintain attractive parks and public squares. 3

4 Tools for distinctiveness Landmark buildings are classic tools for promoting distinctiveness. Iconic structures can portray something new or offer prominent symbols of military, religious or political significance. They may act as catalysts to further investment. They can accommodate unique cultural facilities or serve as venues for arts performances that enhance the perception of cities as places to visit and enjoy. 4

5 Problems 1. The pursuit of uniqueness creates pressures to build showcase projects that attract attention by virtue of their exceptional design 2. A focus on up-market residential property rather than the full range of housing required by households with diverse resources 3. There are difficulties for lower income occupiers and local firms supplying routine consumer services 5

6 Branding Emphasis on the image or identity of cities The growing importance attached to intangible and soft (cultural) assets in economic competitiveness A strong overall city image may lend some coherence to a range of loosely related attributes and help to subsume particular local difficulties. 6

7 Sources of differentiation Buildings may be relatively straightforward to create differentiation. One of dangers - distinctiveness for the sake of being different - an end in itself - rather than a means of enhancing local capacity to meet the varied requirements of different city users. In seeking to be distinctive, cities end up imitating other places with similar kinds of initiative. 7

8 Place branding campaign 1 To package and promote a comprehensive brand image that tells a powerful brand story, so that outsiders can understand the place in a positive light. 8

9 Place branding campaign 2 The creation of high profile icons, such as hosting internationally popular sporting events or celebrating iconic features. These icons focus people s mind and promote the associated places.

10 Place branding campaign 3 To brand the place through endorsements and recognition from other authorities - UNESCO heritage sites accentuate the historical and cultural values of these places 10

11 Place branding messages The arts and culture are used in place branding various art and cultural activities communicate vibrancy, excitement and happening. A dull place will not attract tourists, the creative class nor investments. 11
