Kultur i kommunal samhällsplanering - att skapa en attraktiv stad

Contemporary urban renewal through urban entrepreneurialism in the Swedish city Malmö entails that the municipality uses the concept of culture to create an attractive city, targeting inner city areas of the city known to be residence for lower income people. Projects like Kulturstråket hold a lot of promise to create social sustainability and health, and cultural experiences for all inhabitants as well as visitors. Thus culture is politically governed in directions to include everyone. Culture in urban renewal more than anything is aimed to generate an image of the city, and to have a positive eco in Sweden as well as abroad – with the goal of further economic growth in the municipality.
