Abstract The aim of this article is to evaluate a project of planned cultural cluster called Černá louka (Black Meadow) in Ostrava. The concepts of urban governance, political cycles and culture-led regeneration are used for the purposes of the evaluation. Establishing this cultural cluster was the flagship project of the unsuccessful candidacy of the city of Ostrava for the title of European Capital of Culture 2015. The projects scope and focus undoubtedly created the biggest challenge for the city in its modern history. The nature of the project indicates the societal relevance of this article. Even though the project was not successful, it provides a number of implications for understanding not only the future development of the city of Ostrava, but also other towns with a similar history in the post-socialist context.
