Culture and Creativity in the Picture: design for a measurement tool for the Brussels metropolis

The Brussels-Capital Region also has become aware of these industries and of the need for measurement tools recording and monitoring their impact and activities. This article responds to this awareness by presenting a scoreboard with the Brussels Region as its main focus. Unlike other (theoretical) measurement models it privileges the immediate usability of the scoreboard, through a maximum alignment with existing data providers and Brussels institutions.
