Abstract
This chapter discusses a range of strategies and initiatives that have been implemented across the city of Leeds (UK) with a critical evaluation of the ways in which models from other European cities, feedback and opinion from music professionals, consultation from government officials in Leeds and guidance documents from professional bodies and global consultancy agencies have been implemented in the development of the city's strategy to stimulate music activity around Music: Leeds' three core areas of activity: creative development and business growth; placemaking and tourism; and access to music. Since the formation of Berlin's Club Commission in 2001, and following the dissolution of Regional Development Agencies in 2012, UK local government's remit has expanded to include the stimulation and support of regionalised music sectors and scenes. Some cities and regions have created roles within local government such as dedicated music officers or to establish a dedicated music office that supports music activity in all areas of the economy.
