| Abstract | Culture-led regeneration has long been recognised as a mechanism of re-branding declining urban areas by providing cultural infrastructure, such as museums, galleries and theatres. Whilst often lauded for its potential to economically regenerate cities, the model has shown to have a less positive impact on marginalised households and neighbourhoods. This article explores the utilisation of culture-led regeneration in three disadvantaged Irish social housing estates and finds that it did generate benefits, but not the economic ones predicted by the main authors in this field. Rather its benefits were primarily social – it helped to combat stigmatisation, build local capacity and improve community cohesion. Levels of community participation in cultural activities were very strong in two of the case study neighbourhoods, but much weaker in the third less generously resourced neighbourhood, which raises questions about the levels of investment needed to ensure success and the long-term sustainability of these programmes. © 2015 Taylor & Francis. |

| Rather its benefits were primarily social it helped to combat stigmatisation, build local capacity and improve community cohesion. . | A key reason for the Centres success in achieving this aspect of its remit, despite the large-scale and initially top-down imposition of culture-led regeneration, has been the emphasis on selecting cultural activities which are relevant to the concerns of the local community and on involving residents in their design and implementation. . | In addition to servicing the artistic community it provides classes, workshops and other resources required to involve local people in the arts. . | However they argued that this aspect of the estates regeneration has had a stronger impact on strengthening community cohesion, by enabling residents to interact in a creative environment and increasing neighbourhood pride, which had been diminished by the estates negative external image. . | Culture-led regeneration has long been recognised as a mechanism of re-branding declining urban areas by providing cultural infrastructure, such as museums, galleries and theatres. . | There is evidence that arts and cultural initiatives can be implemented in a way which is inclusive of low-income households but this is a challenging task. . | The community arts practitioners interviewed for this article also argued that spending on enabling disadvantaged communities to access arts and culture can also be justified as a means in itself - of democratization of access to these activities, rather than merely as a means to the end of regenerating these neighbourhoods. . |
