| Abstract | Barcelona’s redevelopment has been widely celebrated for its apparently successful combina-tion of cultural strategies with urban regeneration to address social problems. The ‘Barcelona model’ has evolved, however, with changing relationships between urban regeneration, the use of culture and modes of governance. The role of cultural strategy has shifted from being part of a cultural vernacular with social and political citizenship at its core to become a functional tool for ensuring social cohesion and marketing the city’s brand. This is linked to a gradual dilution of bottom-up participatory democracy in governance. Pressures for international competitive-ness are challenging the sustainability of the ‘Barcelona model’, while local actors are trying to ensure social justice at home. |
Barcelonas redevelopment has been widely celebrated for its apparently successful combina-tion of cultural strategies with urban regeneration to address social problems. the reason for the lack of criticism is that urban quality and social dignity have been combined in the renewal of barcelona with the aim of enhancing social cohesion and a sense of belonging to the city see garca-ramon and albet :. the olympic urban project created a governance dynamic of seeing the city as a whole and gave impetus to a range of urban development strategies such as the renovation of the seafront improved transport and communication infrastructures and the distribution of new civic facilities across the city. by ferran mascarell city councillor and chair of the culture education and social welfare commission was able to state: it is safe to say that today barcelona is culturally strong and dense thanks largely to the fact that it has placed culture at the centre of urban development through cultural policies that are committed to values innovation creativity and co-existence mascarell. social cohesion as a project evolved in such a way as to accommodate diversity whereas culture and tourism consolidated as economic assets.
