Abstract		Culture for Cities and Regions is a three-year project led by EUROCITIES in collaboration with KEA, in collaboration with ERRIN.

Funded under the EU’s creative Europe programme, it aimed to take stock of existing practices all over Europe to exchange and promote transfer of knowledge, to better understand successful cases of cultural investment, and to go into the details of policy planning and implementation.
