| Abstract | This study investigates Participatory Cultural Initiatives (i.e., cultural and creative projects, events, and experiences that involve civic engagement), shedding light on how participation unfolds and what elements best explain its dynamics. Based on a sound literature review in the field, the paper focuses on four European case studies: the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, Matera as a European Capital of Culture, Big City Life in Tor Marancia and Rome City of Film as part of the UNESCO network of creative cities. The findings highlight the dynamics of the governance and the significant role of the orchestrator(s) in shaping the vision and enabling participation of all relevant stakeholders. From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the literature and debate on culture as a driver for local regeneration and development. Furthermore, cultural professionals, urban and regional planners, policy makers, institutions and citizens get new insights for designing and managing cultural projects. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd |

| As a consequence, the entire neighbourhood has benefited from this urban renewal project. . | (Project Curator) Their welfare improved as a result, and now they are proud to live there. . | As one example of a social benefit, they begun to positively identify themselves with the district, from which a sense of belonging emerged. . | Culture helps to build up individual and collective identities and is a crucial asset that can be developed by communities for far-reaching benefits. . | Moreover, cultural-creative experiences are not merely single events in the life of an individual; they also contribute to a joint sense of identity. . | Far beyond their intrinsic artistic value, communitybased cultural initiatives foster the participation of citizens at various levels, thus increasing civic engagement and community pride. . | From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the literature and debate on culture as a driver for local regeneration and development. . | 2. Participatory cultural initiatives as a cultural phenomenon A growing body of literature across a diverse range of disciplines has tackled issues relating to culture and creativity and their associated socio-economic values. . | To invest in cultural resources means contributing to improvements in quality of life, and forging new economic, financial, and human resources. . | Furthermore, cultural professionals, urban and regional planners, policy makers, institutions and citizens get new insights for designing and managing cultural projects. . | In particular, a participatory approach to cultural and creative initiatives entails civic engagement for creating and sharing cultural projects, events and experiences. . | The participating artists have benefited too. . | A group of young professionals launched the initiative; they persuaded the other stakeholders to participate in the application process; and promoted the value of civic engagement. . | And now they reap social, economic, and cultural benefits from the project. . | This study investigates Participatory Cultural Initiatives (i.e., cultural and creative projects, events, and experiences that involve civic engagement), shedding light on how participation unfolds and what elements best explain its dynamics. . | In this phase, participation might be regarded as one of the main goals of the cultural project. . | Various international agencies, NGOs, think tanks, and social platforms involved in fostering the arts and culture have recommended principles of good governance to increase public participation in cultural projects. . | This increases public awareness as well as participation through all phases of the project. . | Once an initiative has received public recognition and attention, and generated economic benefits, legitimacy reaches a broader audience and acts as a collector of wider participation (ex-post legitimacy, found in all cases). . | The publicity their work has received has enhanced their reputation and increased the value of all their work. . |
