The study examines how the concepts of RUHR.2010 and Marseille-Provence 2013 contributed to processes of cultural policy transformation in terms of sustainable governance structures in the cultural sector. It shows how intrinsic identities affected a culturally shaped transformation. The need to reform the ECoC initiative is also discussed.

In its more than three decades of history, the European Capital of Culture initiative has become an important instrument for cul-tural urban development. The EU cultural policy guidelines apply in all participating countries-but the design varies greatly from location to location. This volume reflects the approaches in 18 countries, inside and outside the EU, that have already hosted one or more Capitals of Culture. It conveys the assessments of scholars from various disciplines, and from those responsible for the programme on how art and culture deal with local and regi-onal forms of transformation.
