Abstract | This review was commissioned by the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) to inform the preparation of a policy document on the contribution of cultural activity to regeneration It has been written primarily as a briefing for DCMS officials. Carried out over the summer 2003, responses and coverage of published and ‘in press’ information may not be as full as a longer research period would have allowed, however the review has been extensive within the culture and regeneration sphere. New reports and publications are emerging almost daily, in part due to the raised interest in and awareness of the subject, and these should be continually reviewed as policy formulation and implementation is undertaken. In addition to setting out its own objectives for culture and regeneration, DCMS is working to increase awareness within other Government departments of the potential contribution of cultural activity to their regeneration programmes. The indicators of regeneration most commonly referred to in this paper are those already widely used by Government in the context of neighbourhood renewal, social inclusion and community cohesion: reduced levels of crime, increased health and well-being, increased educational attainment, reduced unemployment, greater community cohesion, greater environmental quality and quality of life (or liveability). |
The contribution of culture to regeneration in the UK: a review of evidence. this project has been a catalyst for further work the quayside project is an example of what can be achieved in difficult topography and over time. measuring the economic impact of regeneration has required a more targeted approach both spatially and in terms of beneficiaries. between these two extremes the past five years have seen the emergence of more confident approaches to defining what social regeneration or social impact might look like although researchers tend to agree that the complexity of the process of regeneration makes it hard to attribute an effect to a cause particularly in the short term. a sample of longitudinal impact studies is essential given the dearth of sustained evidence the area of public art and festivals appears to be slightly better represented and conflicting claims: useful as opposed to accurate evaluation reports need to consider not just the impact of arts programmes on individuals but also their effect and the extent to which it can be and is sustained on the communities in which individuals live newman curtis and stephens.
