| Abstract | In the past 30 years, culture has been used as a means for revitalising neighbourhoods and branding the urban economy. Often, culture-led urban policies have had undesirable consequences in terms of rising rents, displacement of former residents and changes in the economic and retail landscape, i.e. gentrification. However, this process is not univocal, and displacement may not occur while disrupting community life. In this paper the author explore the changes that have occurred in San Francisco, a working-class neighbourhood of Bilbao where the attraction of cultural industries has been used to revitalise the area and change the city image. |
In this paper the author explore the changes that have occurred in San Francisco, a working-class neighbourhood of Bilbao where the attraction of cultural industries has been used to revitalise the area and change the city image. thus although not a planned consumption-oriented cultural dis- trict local authorities did have a strategic role in jump-starting the socio-spatial trans- formations and in expanding this process. nevertheless the bursting of the housing bubble slowed down speculation and nowa- days the prices of flats and stores in the area are below those of other working-class neighbourhoods. an important segment of the creative labour force finds some diffi- culties in satisfying material welfare so rather than on elitisation and displacement by more affluent residents the focus should be on how a community made up of resi- dents with different ethnic cultural social and class positions manages to enhance eco- nomic life chances collectively. in a local activists own words: what is promoted has nothing to do with the neighbourhood people.
