| Abstract | How can we measure culture in urban areas? Can empirical metrics on culture function as an urban planning tool for cities' well-being? This paper fits into the
research path examining the role of culture as a resource for development, with a specific focus on empirical measurement aspects. A novel dataset (The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor – CCCM) gathering 29 indicators for 168 cities in 30 European countries is presented. The CCCM measures the presence and attractiveness of cultural venues and facilities (Cultural Vibrancy), the capacity of culture to generate jobs and innovation (Creative Economy), and the conditions enabling cultural and creative processes to thrive (Enabling Environment). Results show that cultural and creative assets are diversely distributed across European cities, which offer local authorities the opportunity to design context-specific development strategies. In particular, many medium-sized cities appear to have, on average, more cultural capital assets per inhabitant than larger cities. On the basis of these findings, we draw conclusions on the conceptual and methodological relevance of the CCCM and advance proposals on how to further use the CCCM data to drive culture-led and evidence-based urban policy design." |

| However, greater levels of generalised trust may be found in smaller cities due to a stronger sense of community. . | The role of culture in creating lively cities and communities where people want to live, work and visit is among the central tenants of the creative cities' literature. . | Culture is a key to achieve inclusive development, to strengthen social bonds and cooperation, and to foster creativity and innovation. . | Culture may refer to people's traditions, beliefs and behaviors or to economic activities grounded on artistic creation, creative skills and symbolic values. . | In which ones culture is also a driver of creative economies? . | Among other reasons, this is related to the fact that culture is multidimensional, covering different domains of the economy, society and individuals' lives. . | These should help measure the diverse sets of cultural resources that can be mobilised for development purposes and their varied impacts on the economic and society. . | The CCCM measures the presence and attractiveness of cultural venues and facilities (Cultural Vibrancy), the capacity of culture to generate jobs and innovation (Creative Economy), and the conditions enabling cultural and creative processes to thrive (Enabling Environment). . | Provided that culture uniquely defines a city, which urban contexts are more culturally vibrant? . | Culture represents an authentic form of capital (Throsby, 2001) that contributes to defining a city as unique environment with its own features. . |
