Culture in Economic Development

I hardly believe that culture can be an essential aspect of the economy of a city in the

current era. Civilization has washed away many cultures, and most people have no connection

with their culture. Implementing culture in cities would only attract a certain age bracket, 40

years and above. Most people below the age of 40 were brought up in this civilized world where

culture was deemed as poisonous and therefore are not conversant with those old practices

(Keating, 2003). From this view, culture may not be ideal for promoting development in the

cities. To make culture count as an economic driver in the cities, cultural studies should be

introduced in schools to enable people to appreciate and acknowledge their own cultures (Currid,

2009). This will enable young people to grow knowing their culture, which will create a more

balanced and sustainable cultural aspect in the urban environment.

In many cases, we see political differences arising from cultural differences. We can

already predict that culture will bring such differences in business which will hinder its essence

in economic development. As noted in the above premise, culture can "stimulate pride, personal

development, and self-fulfillment for minorities" where identities conflict with each other. Until

we get to a point where cultural diversity is acknowledged by everyone, we will still deal with

the toxic impacts of cultural differences in an urban economic setup (Towse, 2014).

Leading using culture as an economic driver

As a city administrator, I would only embrace the implementation of cultural aspects that

wouldn't have a negative impact on the city in the long run. I would focus on implementing

cultural diversity in fields like tourism because it is a major revenue source for cities. Also, most

people in the tourism industry have the full consent of issues that arise from cultural differences.
