Tokyo 2020: Promoting the Creativity of the Global Metropolis
Against the background of a global trend where more and more cities compete to attract creative and innovative talent, place branding has become a key success factor for cities worldwide. Tokyo is already a vibrant metropolis with a reputation of being a leading cultural hub for the art, fashion, technology and cuisine. But as the future host of the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, what are Tokyo’s priorities beyond the immediate tasks of upgrading infrastructure and managing a large influx of visitors? How can Tokyo best project its creative identity to the outside world? This session will discuss strategies for Tokyo to further enhance and promote its long-term soft power influence.
