The Role of Cultural Planning in Urban Development

Cultural planning is essential for cities seeking to enhance the quality of life for their residents. By integrating cultural practices into urban strategies, planners can address issues such as transportation, housing, and sustainability. This comprehensive approach encourages communities to leverage their artistic resources to foster social equity and improve overall urban health. The Routledge Handbook of Urban Cultural Planning offers a significant contribution to this field by providing best practices and innovative ideas aimed at engaging both practitioners and citizens.
