Cultural Regeneration, Policy, Impact & Supporting the Sector

This symposium is an opportunity to reflect upon, and discuss, the value of cultual regeneration though the lens of Renfrewshire's Future Paisley investment. Future Paisley has sought to draw upon Paisley and Renfrewshire's unique and internationally significant story to develop an exceptional programme of cultural events and activity and, use targeted investment to deliver positive change.

Discussion will focus on the opportunities and potential threats of using culture and creativity as economic and social catalysts. Panel discussion will consider how cultural regeneration programmes like Future Paisley can go beyond earlier critiques of culture-led approaches to deliver more positive impacts for the places that invest in them and, for the people who live and work there. The symposium seeks to provide a platform to explore the value of place partnerships between local government, the third sector and research institutions in informing policy and evaluating success.
