Our Practice
Facing new economic realities, a growing number of municipalities across Canada and abroad are turning to municipal cultural planning and cultural mapping as powerful tools to support economic development and community building.
AuthentiCity is a Toronto-based consulting practice. We work with municipalities, local business and community coalitions to build local economies through culture. We offer three core services: municipal cultural planning, cultural mapping, and workshops.
AuthentiCity works on a network basis with leading practitioners and partner consulting firms.
AuthentiCity was founded in 2006 by Glen Murray, Greg Baeker, Shirley Muir and Daniel Nixey. Since 2007 Kat Runnalls has collaborated with Greg Baeker to build the practice.
