  • Kingston: a city of culture

    On the heels of reggae been granted an inscription and recognition as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity; and the naming of Kingston as a creative city of music; the international body is again focussing on Kingston in its sustainable cities pilot project. This programme will seek to collect data on the preservation of culture in the city and creating an inventory on how communities, ordinary citizens document this intangible cultural heritage in the urban context.

    Kingston along with Harare, Zimbabwe and Georgetown, the multicultural capital of the Malaysian island of Penang, are the three cities which have been selected for this project.

    According to director of culture in the Ministry of Gender, Entertainment, Culture and Sport, Gillian McDaniel, Kingston in particular and Jamaica in general, factors highly on UNESCO's radar to the prominence of the country and its culture globally. Therefore it is not surprising that the country has been chosen for this programme.
