“…The Guggenheim Museum was an expensive project, and researchers question whether the cultural life of the Basque Country might not have been better served by investing the money in local arts and artists. 18,19 This corresponds with Bianchini and Parkinson ' s conclusions that regeneration based around prestige attractions does little to benefi t the disadvantaged members of the community. 20 Early cultural regeneration projects failed to integrate low income and ethnic minority groups culturally, socially or spatially.…”

Yasminah Beebeejaunis a Senior Lecturer in Planning and Architecture at the University of the West of England. She completed her doctoral studies at the University of Sheffi eld where she investigated the construction of identity in plan-making processes. Her research interests include the tensions between community, participation and planning (particularly, master planning), and she has published her research in Planning Theory and Practice. AbstractThis paper presents a case study of Sheffi eld city centre ' s masterplan, focusing on the Heart of the City civic core. Sheffi eld was one of the fi rst city councils to use culture as a basis for economic regeneration. The literature argues that while early regeneration was economically driven, under New Labour cultural planning has become more focused on creating inclusive spaces. The new developments in Sheffi eld associated with the masterplan have been in two stages. The fi rst created award winning public cultural spaces, including the Millennium Galleries and Winter Garden. The second phase has led to private, commercial developments, which this paper argues have impacted negatively on the public spaces. The public spaces do not meet the inclusive aspirations of either Sheffi eld ' s local strategic partnership or cultural policy. The Sheffi eld case, however, demonstrates how all regeneration is located within local economic realities. As a secondary city within its region, in terms of offi ce rents, there is a limit to what the public sector in Sheffi eld can demand from the private sector. The masterplan ' s developments are ongoing and there is evidence that as offi ce rentals are increasing the public sector could exert more power in the future.

“…De esta manera, los enormes halls aeroportuarios, 10 Debe decirse, que la arquitectura de vanguardia también está recibiendo críticas y llega a ser considerada un elemento de homogeneización urbana. Autores como McNeill (2000) y Muñoz (2008) denominan este fenómeno como «McGuggenizacion» o «Urbanalización», respectivamente. No obstante, en este trabajo se valora únicamente la intención con que se construyen los edificios, que es el proyectar imágenes de modernidad.…”

RESUMENEn la actual era de la movilidad, los aeropuertos se han consolidado como infraestructuras necesarias de cualquier ciudad global. Más allá de conectar físicamente los lugares, estos ejercen un rol destacado en la consolidación y mantenimiento de las ciudades mundiales, al tratarse también de instalaciones simbólicas, ligadas a prácticas de ocio-consumo dominantes. Se incide en esta segunda cuestión, analizando distintas actividades como las tiendas de lujo y de marcas globales que aparecen en ellos, así como la morfología que han adquirido a través de la denominada arquitectura de vanguardia.Palabras clave: Aeropuertos, citymarketing, arquitectura de vanguardia, marcas globales, economía de la experiencia.

“…Wullschlager (2012) of the Financial Times speaks of the "glitzy homogenised biennales and fairs", while Wilson-Goldie (2009) describes their exhibition-making as smoothing "very different and disparate works into a singular, homogenised visual language". Cultural events have thus become "McDonaldised" (Ritzer, 1993) -or, to use the equivalent art-world term, "McGuggenised" (McNeill, 2000;Werner, 2005).…”
