Summary
Cities around the world are building and branding urban cultural life as a way to develop local economies and revitalize urban centers. Economic development scholar Richard Florida has promoted an enormously influential image of successful 21st century cities as places where social tolerance and natural and cultural amenities draw educated workers and new economy businesses (Florida, 2003, 2005, 2008). A cultural space is recognized as a space or facility that can d directly produce and educate some cultural products in everyday life or where citizens can come and appreciate arts and culture: it is not just a place but a space in which the locality and cultural activities are organically connected to constantly for the production and enjoyment of culture.
