“…As for the economic dilemma, cultural regeneration strategies often involve a mix of consumption and production models, but, in practice, balancing these two aspects remains a challenge [39]. In the case of Liverpool, complete cultural facilities and event programmes provide a sound foundation for cultural consumption.…”

“…This phenomenon is mainly based on the economic and social benefits brought to the policy makers. In addition, the potential of revitalising post-industrial cities has been well proven by several successful stories, such as Glasgow, Barcelona and Bilbao [5,10,39]. From an economic perspective, Evans and Shaw [40] argue that culture can contribute directly or indirectly to inward investment, job creation, new industry development, and public-private partnerships.…”

Culture-led regeneration has been widely accepted by European cities as an important component of urban renewal and sustainable development. However, the instrumental role of culture in urban regeneration has revealed several controversies. The study aims at contributing to the debate on urban cultural policy and management by answering two research questions: What are the key success factors for sustainable culture-led regeneration? How can cities strike a balance between the dilemmas of culture-led regeneration? Based on a case study of Liverpool as the 2008 European Capital of Culture, this research draws on long-term and multi-faceted data. The study period is from 2007 to 2018, with a view to tracking the long-term impact of event. Liverpool’s strategies for sustainable culture-led regeneration are investigated from three aspects: cultural funding dilemma, economic dilemma and spatial dilemma. The findings reveal that incorporating events in a city’s long-term regeneration trajectory, continued support and enhancement of local cultural processes and structures, and highlighting community involvement and development are major factors to ensure the cultural sustainability of event.

“…There are studies evaluating city branding on the basis of a tourism point of view and the focus on cultural tourism and cultural‐based branding (Murphy & Boyle, ; Colomb, ; Dragolea & Cotîrlea, ), cultural and heritage resources (Northover, ; Giovanardi, ) and tourism development and images (Lennon & Seaton, ; Bramwell & Rawding, ; Ning & Hoon, ). As a new avenue in urban tourism, cities that are not seen as tourist destinations are emerging as tourism destinations.…”

The purpose of this study is to systematically review the city branding literature, organize the subject matters and draw a map of the development and change in the city branding research domain. As a result, city branding literature is categorized under four thematic areas: (1) city branding concept, processes and measurement; (2) branding strategies; (3) social urbanism; and (4) branding culture and tourism. Most of the studies are research based. The qualitative methods are commonly used. There is a general tendency to describe the data but not to interpret the relations between the concepts and theories. Therefore, the knowledge is idiographic.

“…To paraphrase the title of a recent article in this journal (Colomb, 2011b), a possible resolution to the tensions outlined above can be found in the preposition used to connect culture and place: Does place branding use and support culture in the place, culture for the place or culture of the place? We have outlined above that it is most commonly culture in the place that is being promoted.…”

This article argues that the dominant understanding of culture within place branding is inadequate and leads to disconnection between local culture and the place brand. The article discusses significant tensions arising from an evident oversimplification of the relationship between place brands and culture. This relationship is reconstructed through a re-appreciation of its complexity and reciprocity. The article provides a refined appreciation of the role of place brands in the production of culture as well as of the cultural nature of place brands and explores the implications of such thinking. Synergies are found in clarifying the formation and function of place brands as cultural phenomena, and, particularly, in understanding the link that culture provides between locals, their place and its brand. The simultaneous consideration of culture in, for and of the place and the related analytical, strategic and participatory aspects of place branding are highlighted as resolutions to the evident tensions.
