Popis: It has become common to find arts and culture-related policies playing a key part in the urban revitalisation strategies pursued by city authorities in Europe and North America. This article has three main purposes. First, it considers the factors which have led city authorities to place emphasis on culture-related policies, looking in particular at the way cities have been affected by changes in the organisation of production and in their class composition. Second, it examines arguments that have been advanced about the effectiveness of cultural projects as tools of urban regeneration. Finally, it examines alternative visions of how ‘cultural planning’ might contribute to social and political change in cities.
