Culture now has a prominent place on the urban policy and
re-profiling agendas of cities around the world. City-based
cultural planning emphasising creativity in all its guises has
emerged as a significant local policy initiative, while the notion
of the 'creative city' has become an urban imaging cliche. The
proliferation of local blueprints for cultural planning/creative
cities has been remarkable, while supra-state bodies such as the
European Union and UNESCO are also fostering the use of culture in
strategies to revive cities and urban economies and to brand places
as 'different'. Cities of Culture highlights significant trends in
cultural planning since its inception, revealing and analysing key
discourses and influential (globally-circulating) manifestos and
processes, as well as their interpretation and implementation in
specific places. With reference to examples drawn from Europe,
Australia, Asia and North America, Cities of Culture provides
insights into the application of urban cultural strategies in
different local, national and international contexts, highlighting
regularities, tensions and intersections as well as core
underpinning assumptions. This book explores the now-pervasive
expectation that cultural planning is capable of achieving a wide
range of social, economic, urban and creative outcomes. It will be
of interest for students and scholars of urban sociology, urban
studies, cultural policy studies and human geography.
