An idea about cultural planning by Lia Ghilardi

"I'm not very much into the Olympic project also partly because I'm rarely in London and often doing work in Europe, but there is something interesting which we have completed with Tom Fleming and it is a piloting of a cultural planning toolkit for planners and cultural strategists based in the South Essex sub-region. It would be good to talk to you about this project because it has been so difficult to develop due to the fact that planners are not focused on cultural activity and don't know much about the debate going on about the social impacts of culture. So the problem in doing a toolkit which planners are supposed to use when dealing with culture is that there is no statutory framework and they don't feel they have the obligation to implement (for example good design in public spaces, or public art in new housing schemes). So the tookkit, though it is called cultural planning has been a bit of a futile exercise and in the end had little to do with my notion of cultural planning."
