Abstract | This paper is focused on the role of cultural and creative industries in the regeneration of the inner city of Ostrava. The first part outlines the basic relationship of cultural and creative industries and urban areas in market economies, with emphasis on industrial cities. Ostrava is a post-socialist city, therefore essential characteristics of one are briefly given. The empirical part presents three case studies demonstrating the impact of cultural and creative industries on the regeneration of the inner city of Ostrava. In the conclusion, the case studies are discussed in a comparative perspective with special accent on the role of the public sector as an actor of culture-led regeneration in Ostrava. © 2012, Versita.

The aim was to improve the negative external image of an industrial city through this event, to enhance the quality of life in the form of completing the historically missing cultural infrastructure, and thus to induce the development of cultural and creative industries. . | A fundamental role in the development of these businesses was played by culture, which attracted the attention of intellectuals and secured a stable income to bars. . | At the same time artists can theoretically profit from the advantages stemming from the presence of adjacent attractions (e.g. a higher frequency of visitors - tourists, thus potential customers; a common brand of the whole area). . | In a positive sense, primarily in relation to the process of gentrification, artists are praised for their ability to contribute to the overall valorisation of an area (e.g. by creating, understanding, and preserving values that give the area its value, Ley 2003). . | The area was already considered by local citizens an integral part of the city centre, and its growing importance for tourism in the city further boosted its commercialisation. . |
