OPENCities
OPENCities is a project initiated by British Council Spain, to help cities to become more open and competitive. OPENCities demonstrates how international populations contribute to cities long term economic success and advocates for openness as a way forward for cities willing to play an international role. It has developed a tool to benchmark and analyse openness (the OPENCities Monitor). Overall, the project's goal is to highlight the importance of openness for cities' international success and competitiveness.
== Purpose ==
Worldwide people are migrating to cities and by 2050 two thirds of the world population will live in urban areas, and as of 2014, 54% already do. 〔http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/news/population/world-urbanization-prospects-2014.html〕 This growing urbanisation, together with the commercial and economic globalisation results in increasingly diverse population. The importance of human capital and human creativity as one of the key location factors explaining sustainable economic long-term growth is significant and rising, with urban regions competing globally to attract the highly qualified and talented labour.
Cities must therefore be attractive and open. They must provide a tolerant environment for talents and technology (Richard Florida) 〔See Richard Florida (2002): The Rise of the Creative Class. And How It's Transforming Work, Leisure and Everyday Life, Basic Books, Cambridge MA, ISBN 0-465-02477-7.〕 to attract and retain these international population groups. OPENCities identifies the link between international migration and economic growth, measures the multidimensional phenomenon of openness and provides qualitative recommendations towards internationalisation, integration and diversity policies on local level.
