		<description><![CDATA[Nice post, Kwende. There are dozens, scores, probably hundreds of grassroots success stories like Tribe Called Red and House of Pain that arose fully independent of any City cultural policy ... and often in spite of City cultural policy. It&#039;s great for the City to take stock of what&#039;s happening with the Cultural Plan renewal process but let&#039;s be realistic: the top-down approach to culture growth is tepid in comparison to the critical and much more fundamental grassroots development that happens sometimes literally at street level. If theory/policy can come closer together with action/grassroots, great, but in general most grassroots practitioners will tell you that the best course for thinkers and policy-makers is to simply get the hell out of the way and let stuff happen.]]></description>
