ABSTRACT
This chapter presents culture-led' approaches to regeneration and issues of the use of public art linked to identity and image are explored. It provides the case studies and presents broad conclusions and lessons. Cultural quarters' may be designated, often as part of an array of distinctive urban quarters'. These areas may be defined in spatial plans which often seek to bring about further concentration of such uses in order to achieve use complementarities, synergies, agglomeration economies and minimisation of amenity loss. Public art may also have specific benefits in terms of economic benefits arising from tourism and visitor numbers. In this context, such art would seem to link in particular to cultural tourism, which has been described as Tourism motivated wholly, or in part by interest in the historical, artistic or lifestyle/heritage offerings of a tourism destination'.
