The UNESCO title is a high-profile feather in the city’s cap, persuasive confirmation that Linz has consummated its transition from a blue-collar steel town to a center of media, art and culture. It also underscores the fact that the efforts and investments made in art and culture by the city and its business community are paying off handsomely.
For the creative scene, the UNESCO title is an honor as well as a source of motivation. The higher level of recognition this now entails can open doors to new partnerships and create networking opportunities.
