Examines how cultural policy contributes to processes of urban regeneration, highlighting the revitalization of derelict areas in cities plagued by economic recession, unemployment, depopulation, physical decay, & social unrest. Case studies are offered of the development of museums in three failing port cities -- Liverpool (England); Marseilles (France); & Bilbao (Spain) -- describing how museums can have a synergistic effect on their surrounding communities & inspire the growth of local arts scenes, which lead to business development & repopulation. Analysis demonstrates the shortcomings of a simple "trickle-down" model of urban redevelopment, as well as the need to evaluate the success of urban regeneration in more than just physical or economic terms. 31 References.
