Abstract
This chapter reviews case study examples of successful models and projects transitioning from traditional industries to creative economies from other regions and countries. Because every country, region and city has its own characteristics the analysis presented in the following chapters uses the presented case studies as framework guidelines and examples of what has been done in other locations and what can be done in the Region of Epirus. We use these cases studies mainly to highlight the role that central and local governments play—across the world—to help regions transform into successful creative places and sustain the creative element over time. These lessons provide a guide to the type of role that all levels of governments in the Region of Epirus may need to consider to adopt and to support a thriving creative economy in the medium and long term.
