Editor's note I cannot insist that people who live in cities and towns suffer from imperfection of their
environment. Every day is habitual and full out with a mass of concerns. The realization of a real
quality of city environment comes as a rule when a person finds himself in such a place where
everything is made according to his needs, where the environment is created for Man. And it is
not a matter of beauty behind the window or ancient architecture, quiet narrow streets or busy
"Broadways".

Alexsander Vysokovsky, Tatyana Abankina,Irina AbankinaCity environment and cultural industries
Creative industries are western technology of cultural structuring. During five years attempts to implant this experience on the Russian territory are made but with variable success. As a rule, private initiatives are more stable. Positive results in applying creative approach to development of city environment are unknown at all. Publication of a series of texts of British expert Linda Moss evoked a vivid reaction amidst readers of “60 parallel”. It is not often possible to see a detailed and honest analysis of failures of big public cultural projects. Continuing this subject, our expert Tatyana Abankina organized several discussions with colleagues. In this issue we publish the first part of these discussions. Evgeny DukovArt imbues the city
Is art a luxury or a necessity for a modern townsman? There are needs that develop a personality and their satisfaction can be recompensed only after a lapse of time. And there are stylish wishes, new standards of pastime and it is very easy to measure their efficiency – by a number of visitors, thousands of rubles and extent of “satisfied” population mood. How can a worn out state that offers to a sphere of culture and art a service model of functioning and gives it the only role of a “seller” in the market of spare time differentiate them? These are the issues of the article. Answers you can find only in the collections of school cribs today. By the way they are published in response to the demand of the population of school age. Do you think it is also a necessity? Modern experience
