Culture and the city – Karlskrona, 16-18 November 2007 16-11-2007 Introduction The importance of the European city for the process of European integration
lies also in the cultural heritage it provides for future generations. On the
basis of this strong backbone of identity, it will generate a place where
economic, social and political changes can be collectively faced.
Description
The conference will present scientific research on:
The role of culture has been recognised by cities in order to boost economic
development by subsidies to cultural events and investment in cultural
buildings. In which way can culture provide a sustainable urban development in
ways that attract visitors and enterprise and at the same time enhance citizens
identity and everyday life and how should the sustainability be optimised? With
regard to cultural urban regeneration strategies the question of a cultural
infrastructure for all citizens has to be placed on the social coherence debate,
as well.
