The idea that culture can be employed as a driver for urban
economic growth has become part of the new orthodoxy by which
cities seek to enhance their competitive position. Such
developments reflect not only the rise to prominence of the
cultural sphere in the contemporary (urban) economy, but how the
meaning of culture has been redefined to include new uses in order
to meet social, economic and political objectives. This significant
book focuses on the ability of cultural investment to meet the
rhetoric of social inclusion and the extent to which it offers
sustainable solutions to the problems of the city. To this end it
focuses on the meanings and practice of culture-led policy within
the city and its evaluation is proposed. Paddison and Miles have
edited an innovative book which presents a series of diverse case
studies to challenge the 'one size fits all' model of culture-led
urban regeneration - a key concern being the extent to which
culture-led regeneration can genuinely fulfil the expectations that
policy-makers and urban commentators have of it. This book was
previously published as a special issue of Urban Studies.
