Metropolis 2014

Contemporary cities have only two choices..

either they develop to keep pace with the

changing global scenario or they resist the idea

of transformation & stagnate.

Festive spirits greatly influence on people's

perception of a city. Festivals boost the process of

assimilation, and hence contribute towards rebirth of

non-mainstream urban identity.

Thus creating a melting pot of various subcultures.

Importance of an Urban Festival !Reinvigorating the urban populace, it brings in prosperity to economic,

social and cultural spectrum.

Through cultural activities such as art, music, dance, crafts, exhibitions

and alternate sports-- it creates Cultural wealth and „Symbolic

Economy‟.

Performing arts have always fostered economic growth, especially in

urban cities. At a time when economic systems are no longer

predictable, in order to remain competitive, cities are turning to

strategies that focus on their own innate resources their histories,

spaces, creative energy and talents

There are those who love Culture, Art & Craft,

Film, Music, Adventure & Ethnicity and there are

those

who embody it..are driven by it...and who

LIVE by the RULES of all these...

This is for them !!
