Overall, places are resisted, detested and desisted because they are in a 'pathological' state or because they have become open to vices and crimes, real or perceived (Jacob, 1961;Burton,2005;Greene and Greene, 2003).…”

Culture as an Engine of Local Development Processes: System‐Wide Cultural Districts II: Prototype Cases

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Building upon the companion paper in this issue, this essay analyses five case studies that can be taken as prototypes of the system-wide cultural district culture-led developmental model. The research targets five cities in Europe and the U.S.: Valencia, Austin, Newcastle/Gateshead, Linz, and Denver. Each presents specific characteristics but also some deep, structural common traits. The case studies are compared and their future viability is evaluated in terms of the factors presented in the companion piece.
