Template-type: ReDIF-Paper 1.0 Author-Name: OECD Title: The role of culture-led regeneration in place transformation Abstract: Culture-led regeneration has been a widely used strategy for place transformation for over five decades. This paper takes stock of what is known about culture-led regeneration, highlighting when and how it is most successfully applied and where there are evidence gaps. It explores four main forms of culture-led regeneration: large-scale physical cultural infrastructure, grassroots and community-based cultural infrastructure, cultural and creative districts, and cultural events and festivals. It is part of the broader Transforming Places project.
