International Seminar
A New Museum: a performing tool for social cohesion and local development
Val-de-Marne, France
12–13 March 2007
organized by
INTA – International Urban Development Association
Planning Institute of Paris, University of Paris XII
How do cities use cultural dynamics for local development? The various
notions of culture - as social marker, aesthetic and marketing tool - are
reshaping urban places and conflicts over revitalisation. In recent decades,
territories that lost their traditional industrial or service activities
under the impact of economic and social transformations have been
marshalling their cultural facilities to explore new paths of development
and thereby affirm their determination to sustain their growth.
Well-documented cases like Bilbao, Newcastle, Sheffield, Grand Hornu,
Philadelphia come to mind.
INTA and its partners, after the successful conference in November 2005 at
the occasion of the opening of a new Modern Art Museum in the periphery of
Paris, are calling an international seminar to pursue the debate on the
social, economic and spatial impacts of these cultural facilities on their
territories.
Investigating the impact of cultural facilities on its environment implies
the recognition that there is indeed a contribution of those facilities to
territorial development strategies. However, the question may be asked what
type of development strategies cultural facilities will affect? Beyond its
cultural function, can we assume that cultural facilities contribute to the
general development of a territory, in terms of economic growth, territorial
identity and social cohesion? If they do so, to what extent and in what way
do they contribute? Which methods of analysis to apply for measuring the
impacts? How can these findings assist in the evaluation of the performance
and effectiveness of local public policies and their impact on their
environment?
There are but few of the questions the March 2007 seminar will raise.
