Cultural Planning and Cultural DNA: A Sustainable Approach to Placemaking
A large gathering of members of the Union of Baltic Cities took place in Turku (Finland) on the 24th to the 27th of September 2008. The main subject of the event was the discussion of how to find the cultural DNA of places. Inspired by Lia Ghilardi, participants (mainly from the planning and urban development disciplines) spent two days documenting the distinctive character of Turku. The results of this work will be disseminated in a report which will be ready in December.

Culture at the Centre: A strategic approach to successful and sustainable community-based regeneration
Author: Lia Ghilardi
This is a summary of the document.
The report has been written on behalf of the National Cultural Planning Steering Group (N.C.P.S.G.).The aims of the document were: to assess the relevance and application of Cultural Planning as an overarching vision for cultural and community regeneration in Scotland; to propose Cultural Planning as a successful strategic tool for real community engagement in Community Planning, and to consolidate the understanding and participation of mainstream funders and decision makers. The report highlights some of the examples of existing good practice in the practical application of Cultural Planning as a basis for regeneration strategies at community and city levels. It also indicates the considerable potential of the approach if it were to be adequately supported at a national policy level in Scotland and makes some recommendations for implementation.
