Architecture, Landscape and Cultural Industry in Spain (1992-2007): The Cultural City (2001 - in Progress)

Abstract

Special interest in the creation of the Cultural City, now in construction in Santiago de Compostela (Spain), motivated a group of Art Historians, Economists and Geographers to consider appropriate arquitectural and urbanistic models. These models are being applied in relation to the Cultural Industry and its success. In order to find out which model would be the best for this project, we will study other similar Spanish cases in the last fi fteen years, and analyse their infl uences and consequences on the citizens and tourism.
