Throughout the dialogue series, participants have made the point that a culturally vibrant city is one where all citizens are engulfed by the arts on a daily basis. This would mean many different sites of artistic energy and activity spread across the whole city - including areas accessible by public transit, suburbs, as well as corporate spaces and heritage buildings.

Calgarians also need more true public spaces - places to gather - where accessible, participatory, events could take place. In addition, public art should play a bigger role in the city. Iconic, monumental works should be commissioned and the 1% for Art program expanded. Participants suggested that architecture and aesthetics could be encouraged through tax incentives, and development needs to be planned to include cultural space.
