Regenerating Places outside the Metropolis. A Reading of Three Global Art-Related Processes and Development Trajectories

The aim of the paper is to reflect on the intersection of two relevant phenomena that unfolded in recent decades in all the most industrialized countries and economies—from the United States to Europe and Japan—as the shrinkage of vast urban and rural areas and the increasing role of culture as a dr...
