IMO as a means of is applicable for "noun" whereas as a means to is applicable for a verb. For example: He chops wood as a means of earning his livelihood. Whereas: He chops wood as a means to earn his livelihood.

If anyone has any other ideas please publish.

"More and more in recent years, cities are stressing the arts as a means to greater economic development".

In this sentence "as a means to" refers to the greater economic development but not to the verb

It still doesn't make sense to me.
