Charles Landry is an international authority on the use of imagination and creativity in urban change. In 1978 he founded Comedia, a highly respected globally oriented advisor that assesses deep trends, creative potential, culture and urban change. He invented the concept of the Creative City in the late 1980’s which has become a global movement and changed the way cities thought about their capabilities and resources. Charles Landry helps cities identify and make the most of their potential by triggering their inventiveness and thinking and by opening up new conversations about their future. His aim is to help cities become more resilient, self-sustaining and to punch above their weight. He is currently a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy in Berlin.
