Boston Invited to Join the World Cities Culture Forum

Boston has been invited to join the World Culture Cities Forum, marking a significant step in its commitment to cultural equity. Mayor Michelle Wu celebrated this achievement, noting the city's rich history and diverse communities. Under her leadership, Boston has made arts and culture more accessible, reaching over 60,000 youth through initiatives like Boston Family Days. The city has also made substantial investments in public art, including the launch of Un-monument, which aims to reshape the public art landscape. As part of the Forum, Boston will engage in global policy exchanges and contribute to the World Cities Culture Trends Report.

This collaboration allows Boston to connect with other cultural leaders worldwide, addressing challenges like climate change and equitable economic growth. The city will be represented at the 2025 World Cities Culture Summit in Amsterdam, demonstrating its commitment to cultural innovation. The Forum promotes the idea that culture is vital for urban policy, enhancing community well-being and economic development.
