As well as this survey and an accompanying literature review, interviews were carried out with senior policy-makers and intermediaries from Europe, North America, Africa and south-east Asia.

Amsterdam — Creative Metropoles

Its population of 800,000 has long been ethnically and culturally diverse, with 177 different nationalities making for a great melting pot of different influences and ideas.
