Revaluing The Arts, Remaking Urban Spaces

This is a book about the power of the arts to enhance city images, urban economies and communities. Anchored in academic discussion of the Cultural Industries — what they are, how they have emerged, why they matter and how they should be theorized — the book offers a series of case studies drawn from five countries: Australia, Singapore, Spain, the UK and the US to examine how the arts contribute to sustainable urban regeneration.
