Abstract

Abstract The sustainable development discourse is currently at a crossroads where focus of its meaning and dimensions for holistic and real development have to be revisited. It has to be more inclusive and all-encompassing to also include culture. This study examines cultural sustainability in culture-led creative cities like George Town and Kanazawa. Though both cities purportedly leverage on culture, but the Kanazawa exemplar has proven to be a more successful model. Through qualitative approaches, this study investigated the George Town context vis-à-vis Kanazawa. Findings suggest that the development and theoretical discourse in George Town should formally include culture. It should be incorporated into George Town’s development plans and be part of the agenda for good urban planning and governance to ensure cultural diversity and sustainability.
创意城市的文化可持续性:马来西亚乔治城可以向日本金泽学习什么?
可持续发展话语目前正处于一个十字路口,必须重新审视其全面和真正发展的意义和维度。它必须更具包容性和包罗万象,包括文化。这项研究考察了乔治城和金泽等以文化为主导的创意城市的文化可持续性。虽然这两个城市都声称利用文化,但金泽的范例已被证明是一个更成功的模式。通过定性方法,本研究调查了乔治城与-à-vis金泽的背景。研究结果表明,乔治城的发展和理论话语应该正式包括文化。它应该被纳入乔治城的发展计划,并成为良好城市规划和治理议程的一部分,以确保文化多样性和可持续性。
