URBACT “Creative Clusters in Low Density Urban Areas” was one of the 12 projects selected for being presented in the Seminar “Culture in Local & Regional Development - Evidence from the Structural Funds”.

The event took place in Brussels in 11 November 2009 and the communication was made by INTELI. The Seminar aimed to break new ground in establishing evidence on the effects of culture-based projects on local and regional development financed through the Structural Funds since 2000 and in identifying significant emerging themes and practice
in the area. It was the first step of the study on the Contribution of Culture to Local and Regional Development as part of European Cohesion Policy that is being conducted by the Centre for Strategy & Evaluation Services and ERICarts Institute for the European Commission.
The work aims to answer to the following questions: “Can culture make a significant contribution to modern economies and social change?”; “Does culture have an important part to play in local and regional development?”
The next action of the study is the analysis of detailed project case studies. URBACT Creative Clusters was one of the case studies chosen to be analysed by the project.
