Para desarrollar este argumento, partimos de un breve repaso a la evolución de la gestión y el gobierno de las grandes ciudades españolas desde la restauración de la democracia atendiendo al encaje que en dicho proceso han tenido los equipamientos culturales. Seguidamente, proponemos una lectura del equipamiento cultural que termina por presentarlo como un elemento anclado en la lógica de la democratización cultural, paradigma de política pública con considerables faltas y estrecheces de las que resulta necesario desprenderse. Formulamos entonces el marco de la ciudad cultural, un aparato conceptual para la reorientación y la reconexión de la política cultural y la política urbana. La conceptualización propuesta entiende tres funcionalidades básicas de la ciudad como artefacto: repositorio, interfaz y escenario, y las en...

The conceptual model combines the basic elements of the heritage city, the smart city and the creative city. The city is interpreted from a threefold perspective; as a repository of resources, as a connective interface, and as the setting for citizens' life and social and professional experiences. In this context, each of these perspectives incorporates culture in a different way, enabling different models of value creation and different processes of production and reproduction of this value. In each of the urban models described above, production processes that combine symbolic, physical, financial, social, human and cultural capital in different ways and urban strategies are implemented to provide cultural experiences that ignite transformative effects through several spillovers. That means ...

Although the intrinsic goal of cultural policy is the satisfaction of citizens’ cultural rights, in most cases even these are not fulfilled. We propose brand new cultural policies that pursue such rights but are also able to lead the transformation of the production model and the achievement of other social goals. The dimensions of the cultural sectors have causal effects on the wealth of European regions. The proposed new policy should recognize intellectual property rights and their economic effects in a new way, facilitate cultural entrepreneurship, democratize the use of the premises and public spaces, and try to understand in more depth the relationship between individuals and cultural facts

Further, we analyze whether the increase in spending on Culture by local governments has any significant effect on the probability of local governments being re-elected. To answer these questions, a database of 350 medium-sized municipalities is used comprising the period 2011 to 2019, when two municipal elections were held in Spain; in 2015 and in 2019. The results confirm that both total spending and spending on culture and sports, are tied to the electoral cycle, while expenditure on other merit goods is not. Moreover, using a logit model, it is confirmed that an increase in culture expenditure has a significant effect on the probability of the government being re-elected. S...

It has been a decade since the time when the EU first recognised design as the source of innovation and included it in the core themes of Europe 2020 flagship initiative Innovation Union.<br> In the last ten years, both the design discipline and the policy environment have changed considerably. Therefore, it is urgent for EU policymakers to adopt a new dynamic and update existing design innovation policies to meet new challenges in today's new and complex policy environment.<br> This White Paper proposes a next generation of EU design innovation policies with a focus on the shift from traditional design-driven innovation to Design enabled Innovation (DeI), with a view to harnessing the full potential of design to trigger systemic change in a broader socio-techn...

Pero ademas teniamos la arriesgada intencion de abordar la ciudad como objeto de estudio y no como campo de aplicacion de tal o cual disciplina. Pretendiamos una aproximacion al hecho de la ciudad -a nuestro planeta urbano- relativamente holistica, pluridisciplinar o, si se quiere, transversal, hasta donde nuestros conocimientos lo permitieran, aportando incluso algunas sugerencias sobre la gran aportacion que al conocimiento de la ciudad hacen otras materias que estaban y estan fuera de nuestro ambito como la literatura, la pintura, la fotografia o el cine por citar solo algunos ejemplos. El texto, por tanto, tenia y tiene vocacion de ser util para estudiantes de di...

During the last decade, research has tried to link higher intensity of these industries with the region&#39;s welfare. However, this is a controversial relationship that still needs to be proved. In this article, we build a conceptual framework to help us test the possible causality between regional income generation and employment in the cultural and creative sectors. Using regional European data for 1999-2008, our results show that there is a significant feedback (bidirectional causality) between the per capita GDP and employment intensity in the cultural and creative industries, allowing us to conclude that there is a virtuous circle fed by these industries.
