They were joined on the red carpet by a host of names from the UK's creative community. With the eyes of the world on London during the Olympic Games, the UK is making the most of the opportunity to demonstrate the 'greatness' of it's art, entertainment and design. TRACEY EMIN, Artist Britain has a fantastic sense of humour, really good street fashion, really amazing creative arts, very very good art schools which we've had since the sixties or whatever, and I think people relying and they're looking for other things. They're not looking for money or that kind of investment, they're looking for something which makes their soul feel good. JULIAN FELLOWES, Actor, Writer and Producer I think we're good story tellers, and I think we have a tradition of the novel and we have a good, rich tradition in painting and a pretty good one in music. ROGER DALTREY, Rock Musician Our film industry, our technicians. World over they are renowned as the best. Our actors, our rock bands THOMAS HEATHERWICK, London Olympic Cauldron Designer There are specialists in anything you can think of in this city which as a person interested in ideas you never know what suddenly you're going to need, wether it?s expertise in flames which was the case with our cauldron at the Olympics, expertise in particular metals or techniques of anything, you can find in half an hour you can be with that expertise.

The First Cultural Audit of World Cities.

That's one of the many outcomes of the first cultural audit of world cities. On London's Exhibition Road one can start at the Natural History museum, and then later move across to the Science Museum. Last night the world gathered on the Southbank of the Thames to celebrate this first cultural review of the major urban centres across the globe. The full audit will be made public on August 1st in Olympic host London. Paul Owens, London: The notion, the idea that culture is part of world cities' success is as important as trade and commerce is an idea of whose time has come, and all the world cities who have been involved in this are increasingly pushing culture up their political agenda. Culture binds cities together, through history and art forms. The review reads like a catalogue of the well-known, but certainly also the much lesser known cultural diamonds in the world's top cities. Did you know that Shanghai publishes the most books, but that Johannesburg has the most second hand bookshops? Maybe not a shock that Paris has the most film festivals but be aware that Mumbai releases the most films. And yes Sao Paulo is the party city of the planet with the most nightclubs, but Singapore has the most parks. Each world city has its cultural highlights and its heritage secrets. Its modern and its traditional. Its own cultural identity. Kate D. Levin, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs: In NYC culture is really key to our economy, to our identity and really to our quality of life. It's so important to preserve that kind of uniqueness, but it is also again so important to learn from each other about the kind of differences that can manifest themselves in this kind of excellence. The audit has underlined the power of culture. It rejuvenates boroughs. It creates jobs. It binds ethnically different communities. It bridges a dividing past into a common future. Shanghai knows the leverage culture can have. Huang Chung Yung, Shanghai Cultural Audit representative: Shanghai has set a target that by the year 2015 the culture industries will occupy about 12% of the overall GDP in Shanghai. So we see that this cultural industry is supporting the whole economy of Shanghai and it also help the urban transformation of the city. This first world audit is the perfect guide for your global tour of cultural discoveries.
