Abstract

This chapter seeks to chart the rise, dissemination and limits of a specific model of urban governance, namely the use of ‘culture’ to further urban regeneration. This usage of culture is exemplified by the 2008 European Capital of Culture programme held in Liverpool. This example is shown below to have been highly influential on subsequent urban interventions and governance arrangements in the UK. We argue that this influence is a direct result of the intersection of social scientific practices that privilege the production of evidence of ‘impact’, and the continuation of a public policy settlement associated with broader urban regeneration practices of the 1990s and 2000s.
