Table 4. Overview of cultural resource mapping initiatives<br />

From this brief overview of cultural resource mapping examples, it is evident that<br />

such initiatives are seeking to address current knowledge and information gaps<br />

spanning city, community, regional and global perspectives. For instance, the global<br />

map of cultural and creative industries ‘Cultural Times’ (CISAC, 2015) highlights how,<br />

‘the economic weight of cultural and creative industries (CCI) in mature and emerging<br />

economies is partially described, misunderstood and undervalued’ (p.11). In addition,<br />

it is evident that Canada - specifically Toronto - is leading the way in its exploration<br />

and reporting of cultural activities. Within Australia, the most significant cultural<br />

resource mapping to date has been the Cultural Asset Mapping for Regional Australia<br />

(CAMRA) project. The features of these initiatives reflect some of the complex drivers<br />

highlighted in Table 3 (above) with regard to pressures (sector growth), possibilities<br />

(positive impacts) and mobilities (trends).<br />
