Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to suggest a new identity for Torino as a tourist attraction in order to overcome the industrial perception of the city, which has resulted from the economic debilitation that has plagued wastelands since the mid-1970s. The focus of this study is the Lingotto factory of the company FIAT, which was constructed in the 1920s. Based on case studies based on cities similar to Torino, this study investigates the potential of not only the factory but the economic and social effects of culture-led regeneration on the city of Torino. The specific aims of this study include the following: to suggest methods of revising the “brand image” of Torino and creating “Museum with cultural quarter” as a tourist attraction and its economic potentials; to investigate the potential effects of architectural landmarks and culture-led generation of Lingotto area on tourism and the economy; and to conduct feasibility analysis of and to lay out the potential of renovating FIAT’s Lingotto factory into a cultural attraction based case studies from other cities.

planning processes. Torino city government initiated several strategies and plans

during the 1990s in order to support and Torino has been automaker Fiat’s strong-

hold for decades, earning it the title, ‘the

Italian Detroit’. Capital of the region of Piemonte (Piedmont), Torino was the heart

a climate that enabled the region’s innate

entrepreneurial spirit to adapt to a changing global market.

The 1995 Town Plan had given a blue-

ing global competition led Fiat to restructure its supply chains, with a negative

impact on the local manufacturing-based economy and Fiat moved their supply to

south Italy and eastern European country and left wastelands in Torino.

As Torino became to lose their important

position as a industrial city, Torino carried forward new strategy that integrating

metropolitan area to global city and promoting Torino as a city of culture, tourism,

commerce and sport. The partial devolution of national government power to locally-elected mayors galvanized a new

momentum for Torino in the early 1990s, as Mayor Castellani initiated two major

new vision for Torino as a globally-orient-

enabled Torino’s outmoded industrial core

to be re-configured for the new economy. The new

master plan enabled Torino’s

outmoded industrial artery and railway running through the centre of the city to

be reclaimed for new uses. The main objective of this Plan was the commodifica-

tion and conversion of industrial legacies and services through a renewal of some

abandoned areas. It is possible to say that this Plan aimed to weave the heterogene-

ous social and urban fabric within a coherent

project (Bagnasco 1990) . The ‘Spina Centrale’ 1

(central backbone) and four brown field sites

are being redeveloped into mixed-use neigh-

bourhoods, and linked back to the urban fabric through new transport infrastructure,

including Torino’s first metro line and a highspeed link to Milan.

Based on urban redevelopment of transpor-

tation and infrastructure, Torino spurred to

change their city image from their old industrialized city to city of culture, tourism, commerce and sports. The biggest challenge was

the ‘Winter Olympic Game’ in 2006, and it was a great event to jump-start city’s promotion.

Last decade Torino has changed to and put

their action into practice quite successfully, and is still running on. Despite of Torino’s

effort, many people perceive Torino’s trace of industrialized image. In this paper, with the

aim of Torino to be a new culture and tour-

ism city as like Florence and Venice I analyse urban feature and potential and possibility on

the city and develop Lingotto area as a cultural quarter through LINGOTTO FIAT’s revovation to Museum to support city’s strategy and attract more visitors.

Tourist cities shift their focus from the needs of city residents to desires of people living elsewhere. They therefore sell themselves as

a place to visit to people in nearby suburbs,

across the country, and around the world. In

part, they do so by advertising in a manner

similar to business marketing a consumer product, highlighting the value of their her-

itage, vitality, and unique attractions. But also construct their infrastructure and pro-

vide amenities to ensure that the tourists will

have something to do, and will be able to get around, when they are in the city3.

Improvements to the airport and its connections area very useful to rourists as to those

who travel to maintain their tourism and

global business4. Indeed Torino has merit from European transportation system (Fig.

1.1). The flights arrive from other major Euro-

pean city and railway link other small towns to big cities. Transportation brings more peo-

ple into Torino. The railway stations of Torino

(Porta Nuova and Porta Susa) are connected directly by train or by bus transfer with the most important ski resorts in Piedmont (Ses-

triere, Sauze d’Oulx, Cesana San Sicario, Claviere, Bardonecchia, Pragelato) and the French ski resorts (Montgenevre, Briançon).

So many visitors come to Piemonte for hiking

for summer and skiing for winter5. Piemonte’s

Preferentially city’s competitiveness for tourism is its attractions what it has, accessibility is one of the most desired potential. Existing Torino’s combined connections have direct correlation between Tourism and number of visitors. But city feels something lacking for instance connection to more city within a shorter time.

history of Torino and Lingotto was at the center of FIAT’s history over 80 years. Since 1982 after Ligotto closed its door as a car factory,

historical industrial building eventually ended. It was abandoned almost 20 years. Since

the first industrial decommissioning process-

based economy and develop a renewed brand image far from its industrial notoriousness as “automotive capital”.

One of the most evident outcomes of the 2006 Games was the reaffirmation of Lingotto’s importance in the whole metropolitan region.

The 2006 Winter Olympics have worked as a

catalyst of all these processes and have partially confirmed the morphological and setting choices of the 1995 Town Plan (Fig 1.9).

The Savoy capital became the centre of the became the capital of the new united nation. With this status came the reorganisation and

expansion of the political and administrative

system of the newly established Kingdom of Italy. Torino was only the capital of Italy for a

short period. In 1865 the capital was moved

to Florence. Since 8 July 1871, the capital has been Rome. The people of Torino were angered when the capital was transferred, but

they soon found a way of moving on from this period of stagnation, creating a new role for

their city: that of leading the modernisation

and transformation of the country’s financial and manufacturing systems. Thus within a few decades Torino became the driving force

and importance had been lost by World War II. The automotive sector entered a second wave of growth in the post-World War II

period, heralding the beginning of a highly

prosperous period for Torino. The city was rapidly rebuilt and its industrial base saw a

huge development throughout the 1950s and 1960s, which attracted hundred of thousands of immigrants, particularly from the southern

regions of Italy. Torino became a major European crossroad for industry, commerce and

trade, and currently is one of Italy’s main industrial centres, being part of the famous “in-

dustrial triangle”, along with Milano(Milan) and Genova(Genoa). Torino is ranked third in Italy, after Rome and Milan, for economic strength. By the mid-1970s, Torino was a

thriving industrial centre and one of Europe’s strongest automotive districts, competing

with the German cities of Munich (home to BMW), Stuttgart (Daimler Benz) and Volksberg (Volkswagen), and the French towns of

1980s, the automotive industry crisis severely

employed 149,000 workers in the automotive

and related sector, comparable to the automo-

tive sector in the U.S. city of Detroit, which employed some 158,000 people in 2005 (Detroiter, January 1 2007) and significantly larger than Cleveland’s car manufacturing sector,

which employed 37,383 people at its peak in 1963 (Darwin, 1997)8. By the late 1960s, Fiat

produced 95% of all Italian cars and between

1951 and 1971, it “more than doubled its industrial workforce in its Torino plants from

47,700 to 115,000, took on an additional 30,000

white-collar workers, and contracted a vast array of smaller firms to provide it with services and supplies.”9 By the mid-1970s, Fiat

had become such a dominant force in the city that Turin was the model of a “one company” manufacturing city.

2-3. Confronting the crisis of ‘FORDISM’ by Economy Crisis Torino’s present-day success and rich history mask the intense crisis it faced just two decades ago. Until 1980, Torino’s economy is still strongly linked

to the car and car components industries. Torino had developed by mass production of big

industry what is commonly called ‘fordism10’.

We can call these kind of cities ‘Fordist city’ which were developed by Fordism. But As

mass production were the most important is-

sues in Fordism made city grows faster, also made city declined fast.

The oil crisis of the mid-1970s brought To-

rino’s economic and demographic growth to

a standstill. Throughout the 1970s, social and

In 1980, Fiat cut 23 000 jobs from its plants.

This kick-started a decade of manufacturing job losses across the Province. Between 1980 and 1990, around 100 000 industrial jobs

were lost, the majority of which were located

within the city of Turin itself 11. From a peak

of 158 000 employees in 1968-1969, by 1996,

the number of Fiat employees had declined to 47,00012. FIAT production in Torino reduced

from 60% in 1990 to 30% in 2002. These decades represented not just a crisis for FIAT, but

a crisis for Torino. Moreover FIAT underwent further crises in the early 1990s and again in

the early 2000s, in common with many automotive firms in industrialised countries dur-

ing this time. By the early 1990s, Torino was in crisis.

caused the automobile sector to collapse. These causes led Fiat to shift production out

of Torino into new factories in southern Italy. With a negative impact on the local manufac-

turing-based economy, as the price of raw materials increased, the workforce became

increasingly unionised, and national financial incentives made the southern Italian regions a more attractive investment prospect. So main

10. Fordism: Named after Henry Ford, is a modern economic and social system based on industrial mass production. The concept is used in various social theories about production and related socio-economic phenomena.It has varying but related meanings in different fields, as well as for Marxist and non-Marxist scholars. In a Fordist system the worker is paid relatively high wages in order to buy in large quantity the products turned out in mass production.

the share of indstry in the active populationwas 34,4%. As a result, Turin was forced into

a “process of deliberation about its identity,

new directions of growth, and a vision for the future.” 13

The Fordist industry has been re-dimen-

• Urban Plan : Spina Transformation (1995) The crisis of Fordism which left more than six million square meters of dismissed industrial

areas, imposed to re-consider not only the

city identity, after being a factory-city during all the twentieth century but also to re-think

about the large urban emptiness left which

could be transformed. As early in 1993, the major urban project of Torino, called Spina Centrale, has planed as strategy of develop-

ment of the city to make this more attractive region. Central objective of Spina centrale was

to renew the image of the city more attractive by turning to the future, rewarding its prosperity of the past.

The PRG of Torino (adopted at the end of 1993

and approved by the region in 1995) involvcope with the issues of urban redevelopment and urban regeneration, implementing in the last ten to fifteen years a set of policies, tools

and processes in the framework of two key

factors either exogenous and endogenous affecting the transformation of the city.

Some time in the early 1980s, a rising awareness of a connection between aspects of the urban cultural environment and local economic

development began to make its appearance.15 A new sense of direction emerged based on a

new service economy with high-tech knowl-

economic context that had changed even further, creating new necessities and different growth objectives.

According to the “2nd Strategic Plan for a

human resources and innovation, and valori-

zation of the patrimony of local competences in order to adapt them to the new global con-

text, hinges upon the idea of a Knowledge Economy.

Work on the preparation of the 2nd Strategic

Plan began in January 2005, and was coor-

dinated by thematic commissions entrusted with the duty of exploring scenarios, objectives and possibilities. The commissions met

in plenary sessions and in small groups, experimented forms for involving the citizens, promoted conventions and organized political

and institutional encounters. They explained the planning process through publications and mass communications. As in 2000, the planning process involved over 1,000 people.

The 2nd Strategic Plan is separated into four thematic areas - the metropolitan territory, the

development - to which a fifth, more transversion of the Plan. These areas are divided into twelve project directions involving important

topics upon which the territory’s development is based. Each direction is articulated in a variable number of objectives - for a total of

fifty-four - which focus on various aspects of the projects proposed by the Strategic Plan in

a certain area or sector. Even though each ob-

jective springs from a specific thematic area, it produces effects and has an influence on

(or is in turn influenced by) other objectives of neighboring thematic areas, thus creating a web of virtuous relations that are an essential condition for achieving the original objective.

The thematic areas as a whole, from the axes

to the objectives, indicate a spectrum of potential opportunities and projects for the territory. These opportunities and projects, for

which the Association has initiated a selection process, present a few recurrent characteristics: their level of development; their rel-

evance, which is shared by all the participants of the territory; their economic sustainability;

their interdisciplinary nature; their ability to introduce innovative methods and instruments.

In one of the most drastic urban renewal projects, the area was transformed into a yacht basin and entertainment centre, opening the city up to the sea. A coastal road was moved underground, and a pedestrian street now stretches from the Columbus monument to the suburban area of Barcelona. At almost 105%, Barcelona’s growth stands out as spectacular in comparison with its direct competitors ; growth in Prague fell off over the last two years of the period in question although overall growth for the full decade was 75%; Berlin followed with 57% and Amsterdam and Madrid were next at just over 30%

Torino Art and cultural routes

Today Turin and its surroundings present the visitors and tourists with more than fifty attractions including museums, cultural heritage, castles, residences and exhibition centres which, as a whole, represent an international cultural offer. This short guided-tour has the purpose to describe Turin museums to both its inhabitants and visitors, showing the historical and cultural aspects of the city through the discovery of the hints and places which help us to know our past, look into our present and wonder about our future. Since many of them are located in the city center, you may walk to visit them. However you can take a bus to reach the surroundings of Turin and see the Royal Residences, as well as some other recent opening museums.

It allures by welcoming visitors to the aristo-

cratic and imposing spaces of Piazza Castello. City’s historical centre has the museums and foundations that reconstruct its history and

reveal its artistic and cultural treasures. This

includes Europe’s largest collection of archae-

ological finds at the Egyptian Museum, or the more recent history of the ‘seventh art’ brilliantly presented at the National Museum of

Cinema, the exceptional treasure of ancient art held in Palazzo Madama, and then of course,

Palazzo Reale, the powerhouse behind Italy’s

very first capital. Torino is also a vital point of reference for contemporary art: works and installations produced over the last thirty years

by internationally famous artists are placed

for all to see in the open air or on display at the country’s most important Museum of Contemporary Art within the 17th century Castle of Rivoli.

Owing to 2006 winter Olympic, The city made new infrastructure, so Torino offers one of the most exclusive alternative transport systems in Italy, some parts of which are even unique in the world, while other are the authentic

classics of this city. From the lift in the Mole

Antonelliana to the boats on the River Po, the open-top tourist bus and the Sassi-Superga rack-tramway, all visitors are given inspiring hints for a creative and original trip out of the

are created and the service-oriented industries grow. Trades directly related to the cultural in-

A carefully-orchestrated culture-led regeneration policy can indeed revitalize the community economically, environmentally, socially

and culturally (Brand et al., Evans & Shaw, 2004). It must be emphasized that this improvement strategy is by no means a guaran-

flopped, but plenty more enticed by the reincarnation vision are currently pursuing it with great enthusiasm (Evans, 2001).

marketed their history, quality of place, lifestyle, culture, diversity, and formed coopera-

tive partnerships between city municipalities and government in order to enhance their infrastructure. They were proactive in their approach.5

The city of Torino has had major ambitions to

become a European cultural capital. It was not

place-branding strategies today often stress

ideas and stereotypes of culture and creativity to promote attractive urban images. City

branding is suggested as the appropriate way to describe and implement city marketing. City marketing application is largely de-

pendent on the construction, communication

and management of the city’s image, as it is accepted that encounters with the city take place through perceptions and images.8

One of the basic elements of this ‘new type of

marketing’ is the determination of the major

City marketing and the development of city

brands is now more important tools to pomote. But what does city marketing really mean? And what is city branding?

3-2-1. City marketing - more than just promoting a city9 Pic 3.1 World Design Capital in Torino, 2008

This idea stems from the tendency to lump

marketing together with sales and publicity. The sales approach consists of thinking that consumers have to buy your product and that

they will if you can lower their resistance us-

ing publicity and sales teams, employing dark forces to break their will so they buy something they neither need nor want. Hence, they

leave the supermarket with things they didn’t want to buy, or, lulled into a hypnotic state

by TV sales channels, they end up with a de-

vice to tauten stomach muscles that they will

never use. And don’t forget the salespersons who palm people off with something they really do not need. That is not marketing. Marketing does not consist of selling your product at all costs, but rather in placing clients at

the centre of your competitive strategy, to the point that you are not targeting a global mar-

ket indiscriminately, but rather segments with different needs, using ad hoc marketing strat-

egies. The problem is that mistakes are often repeated. City officials have decided that city

marketing consists of promoting their cities, which in turn means producing videos, brochures and websites, because they are convinced that constitutes the core activity of city

City marketing, instead of being an urban

management philosophy, has ended up being

used for decorative purposes rather than fulfilling its inherent potential.

The image of a city, in the sense of the gen-

eral meaning and idea of a place, is formed not only by visual images, but also by many

other elements. The main reason for this rapid expansion is the improvement in transport and communication infrastructures and the

development of communication technologies. This improvement and development has resulted in greater competition among territo-

ries (states, regions, and, of course, cities) in terms of investment, tourists and residents.

marketing is a planned exercise designed to manage how a city is represented and the

associations it evokes, and that marketing works with perception rather than reality, although it is true that these two concepts are

very difficult to distinguish. This is the action

Tourism has tended to cause uniform growth of cities, with the objective of making the tourist experience as similar as possible to what the tourists are accustomed to. Consequently, tourist destinations become indistinguishable and lose their richness, minimising their unique cultural features. Faced with the ‘MacDonaldisation’, emphasis should be placed on the heritage (social, cultural and natural) of the cities, and such heritage should be the object of tourist attention.

cultural needs and all movements of persons to specific cultural attractions, such as herit-

way cities can be looked at as destinations for

cultural tourism a framework has been de-

veloped based on the predominant (cultural) product of a place and the type of place, such as village, town, city and metropolis.

• The Process of rebranding (Fig. 3.3) The main steps in rebranding comprise name creation and registration, the design of a logo

and associated visual image, market research, and advertising. More fundamentally, rebranding might be seen either as a tactical issue whereby the new brand is operationally

attached to the place product, or as an impor-

tant strategic matter in which all the processes of the urban development authority revolve around the construction and development of the new brand.

resources” 14. Not only can a good city image increase local resident’s self-confidence and

sense of pride, but it also can be an important constituent of the city’s investment environ-

ment, which attracts people, gathers funds, and impetus socioeconomic development. In

fact, the city operators often use every means, and try their best, to mold a good city image, and transmit it to the target persons, through every kind of media, to attract them to locally invest and travel.

The city image marketing is commonly used in city marketing. Its basic strategy is to cre-

ate and market a new image to substitute the negative impression originally existing in the mind of the residents, investors and visitors.

The marketed city image may not depend upon the objective reality, so as to make the future “buyer” understand the superiority and the development blueprint of the city

much better. However, it is more important to

solve a city’s real-life problems while attempt-

ing to change the image. It should be stressed that prior to a city beginning to market itself, local authorities should make sure that the city does in fact have the abilities to supply

Culture-led regeneration programmes are im-

plemented in order to foster a new image for a city or region (Doucet, 2007: 5-6). The shift

to a globalised economy has seen increasing competitiveness between cities, meaning that

they must now vie for investment and sta-

tus on a global scale. In the last twenty-five

years post-industrial cities have increasingly adopted strategies of culture-led regeneration in order to revitalise stagnant economies and

solve problems of unemployment and deprivation . 16

Since the 1980s, there has been an upsurge of interest in the phenomena of culture-led regeneration: using culture as an engine to re-

vive beleaguered postindustrial cities. From

formance art centre. A carefully-orchestrated culture-led regeneration policy can indeed

revitalize the community economically, envi-

ronmentally, socially and culturally. (Brand et al., Evans & Shaw, 2004). It must be emphasized that this improvement strategy is by no

means a guarantee of a commercially-promis-

ing future, and many attempts to replicate the method have flopped.

However, cultural regeneration programmes

should not be considered a guaranteed solu-

tion to long standing social and economic problems. There is ample evidence that many cultural regeneration schemes have failed to

achieve their initial aims and in some cases

the whole cultural revitalisation of cities has turned out to be unsuccessful. Glasgow is often cited as a prime example of this, with Lau-

rier (1999), MacLeod (2002) and Jenkins (2005) all stating that the city used its status as European Capital of Culture 1990 to hide its working class heritage and socialist history caus-

ing resentment and hostility amongst many inhabitants. Doucet (2007) also suggests that 17. Bianchini & Parkinson, 1993; Sirefman, 1999; Brooks & Kushner, 2001; Evens, 2001; Wynne, 1992

3-4-1 Museum Effects There are two types of demand for museums.

The first is the private demand exerted by the visitors. These may be persons interested in the exhibits as a leisure activity or as part of

their profession as an art dealer or art historian. The visit may be undertaken by individual or family decisions, or may be part of an

organised activity, e.g. schools or firms. The

second type of demand comes from persons

and organisations benefiting from a museum. This social demand is based on external effects and/or effects on economic activity.

20

• Social Demand

Museums produce effects on people not actually visiting the museum. These benefits can-

not be captured by the museums in terms of revenue.

• External Effects

Museums create social values, for which they are not compensated in monetary terms. As a consequence, museums tend not to produce

these values, or do so in too little quantity. Five types of such external effects may be conveniently distinguished:

- Option value. People value the possibility of

enjoying the objects exhibited in a museum sometime in the future.

- Existence value. People benefit from knowing that a museum exists but do not visit it themselves now or in the future.

- Bequest value. People derive satisfaction

from the knowledge that their descendents and other members of the community will

20. Bruno S. Frey and Stephan Meier(2003), The Economics of Museums, Working Paper No. 149, Institute for Empirical Research in Economics University of Zurich

choose to do so.

- Prestige value. People derive utility from

knowing that a museum is cherished by per-

sons living outside their community. They themselves need not actually like the museum, nor even visit it.

- Education value. People are aware that a museum contributes to their own or to other

people’s sense of culture and therefore value it.

The non-user benefits and cost have been empirically measured by using three different techniques:

- An obvious possibility is to conduct representative surveys of both visitors and non-vis-

itors of a museum. The questionnaires have to be carefully designed in order to elicit the

true willingness to pay for the various social

values produced by a museum. In particular, the persons surveyed have to be confronted with trade-off questions making clear to them what other goods and services have to be

given up in order to provide these non-user

effects. Best suited are Contingent Valuation

Studies, which were first developed to cap-

ture environmental values but have served well to capture cultural values (see, for ex-

ample, Martin, 1994; the extensive empirical literature is surveyed inNoonan, 2002, and a

critical discussion from a behavioural point of view, see Sunstein, 2002).

- Another technique relies on the revealed

behaviour of individuals. The value of a museum for the non-visitors is captured by ob-

serving how they act. One well-developed procedure is to estimate how much property

increases in value in a city containing a museum. The idea is that people are willing to pay more for a house or apartment situated

in a location with a museum, compared to an

without such a museum. In order to isolate other influences on property prices have to be

controlled for. This can be achieved by running carefully specified multiple regressions.

The same “compensating variation” can be

computed by analysing wages. Here the idea

is that persons are willing to work for lower compensation in a location housing a muse-

um. Again, the many other determinants of wages has to be controlled for in order to be

able to isolate the monetary effect of having a

museum. The compensating variation meth-

od has been used, for example, by Clark and Kahn (1988).

- A third technique to capture social values is to analyse the outcome of popular referenda

on expenditures for museums. In Switzerland, with its many referenda, this approach

has been successfully used to identify option, existence and bequest values of buying two paintings by Picasso for a museum (Frey and

Pommerehne, 1989, chapter 10). For the performing arts, Schulze and Ursprung (2000)

analyse a referendum in Switzerland on the amount of support for the opera house in Zurich. They could also detect external effects. • Effects on Markets Museums produce monetary values for other economic actors. They create additional jobs and commercial revenue, particularly in the

tourist and restaurant business. These expen-

ditures create further expenditures (e.g. the restaurant owners spend more on food) and

a multiplier effect results. Impact studies (see e.g. Seaman, 1997; 2002, and for two special

exhibitons, Wall and Roberts, 1984) measuring the additional market effects created, are

because they provide them with reasons to

studies have to be interpreted with much care: Impact studies tend to focus on the wrong issue. The raison d’être of museums is

to produce the unique service of providing a certain type of cultural experience to its visitors as well as providing the non-user benefits discussed above.

A museum’s task is not to stimulate the economy; there are generally much better means to

achieve that goal. For example, a theme park or an exhibition of industrial machinery may

be much better in stimulating the economy.

If one follows the line of argument of impact studies, one would have to give preference to

whatever expenditure leads to more economic stimulation.

The utopian vision of seeing a landmark mu-

seum or gallery as the answer to economic

problems and the key to regional economic and, therefore, social development is to be

complicit with several misconceptions: what

the contemporary gallery or museum might

be, and the collapse in the division between high art and popular culture.21

Torino has 82 Museums and 3 millions people visit here annually. (+ 250.000 since 2002). Egyptian Museum and cinema Museum are most well known and especially the Mole of

3-5. District Rebranding An increasingly common practice is for a city’s

authorities to attach a fresh brand identity to

a particular locality within the city, especially

when the area has been redeveloped so ex-

tensively that its basic character has changed. Many inner city districts of ‘industrial’ cities

went into decline in the 1960s and 70s, resulting in high levels of economic and social deprivation. Often the people who continued to reside in these districts were unskilled and

unemployed. Government policy both in Western Europe and North America has been

to enhance the attractiveness of depressed inner city areas by stimulating both business investment and the inflow of new residents.

There are many examples of district rebranding within urban conurbations. For instance,

plans were proposed in 2002 to transform

London’s Bishopsgate Goodsyard area into

the ‘Covent Garden of the East End’, with a raised ‘park in the sky’ alongside ‘green paths

and modern amenities’. Controversy surrounded the development, however, as the

district was the centre of one of Britain’s larg-

poses and in order to shop and spend money. Hence an urban regeneration programme

might devote as much attention to removing graffiti, laying flower beds and refurbishing

facades as it does to the conversion of old

warehouses into cheap business premises.

The availability of parks, libraries, swimming pools, theatres and museums may be deemed as important as the creation as new manufac-

turing premises, car parks and convention centers.

Although the marketing of an area cannot

of itself physically improve the district it is

undoubtedly the case that, in the words of

Hultink and Hart (1998), ‘the world will not

automatically beat a path to the door of a better mousetrap’. Rather, the advantages of new

developments must be communicated forcefully and meaningfully to the public. Success-

ful urban regeneration can only be achieved when people become aware of the existence of new place products and recognize that

they possess real benefits. This implies a critical role for the marketing function during the process of rebranding.22

T

he rise of fordist mass production in the twentieth century was associated with the growth and spread of the large industrial metropolis. New style of urbanization and city project that is posing many unprecedented challenge to policymakers around the world appears. Numerous attepts have been made to characterize the essential features of this new economic order. It has been variously evoked in terms of postindustrial society (Bell 1973) flexible accumulation (Harvey 1987), and postfordism (Albertsen 1988), among other lables, although none of them is entirely satisfatory.1 ‘Culture’ is defined broadly to encompass: the visual and performing arts; audio-visual arts; architecture and design; heritage and the historic environment; museums, galleries and archives; and tourism as it relates to the above. ‘Regeneration’ is defined as ‘the positive transformation of a place – whether residential, commercial or open space - that has previously displayed symptoms of physical, social and/ or economic decline.’2 Large-scale internationally famous cultural artifacts, such as the Eiffel Tower in 1.

Paris, the Sydney Opera House, and the Statue of Liberty operate as central tourist attractions, becoming symbols of their respective cities. There is, however, no statistical estimate dealing with the impact of a single large-scale cultural artifact and its contribution to tourism (Landry and Bianchini 1995). In the museological sector, an early instance where a cultural institution acts as a catalyst for the urban rebirth is the Georges Pompidou Centre and ‘the Marais’ neighbourhood in the first arrondissement in Paris. But perhaps no recent cases are as well-documented as the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao (hereinafter GMB) in Spain and the Tate Modern in the United Kingdom. The sharp contrasts of ‘before’ and ‘after’ in each of these cases have garnered tremendous media coverage and extraordinary cult following. • Museum reputation -and Architecture

Architectures that have the ‘wow’ factor may be visitor magnets. The unrivalled extensiveness of the modern art collection possessed by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, single handedly turns the MoMA into an art Mecca. Several museums are presented in this

Prior to the depletion of its mining, steel and shipping industries, Bilbao had long been an affluent port capital, producing 20% of the world’s iron ore (Zulaiki, 1997). The decline had started in the early 20th century, and by the time the Guggenheim Foundation, New York, arrived in the ‘90s, Bilbao’s unemployment was among the highest in Spain and its political situation the most volatile in Europe.

Bilbao has completely changed its image worldwide, with a subsequent positive effect in terms of visitors to the city. We do not deny that the Guggenheim Museum has changed Bilbao’s former image, which was largely associated with either pollution or political violence, making it the new symbol of the city worldwide. It is economic revitalization, regarded as an almost automatic outcome of projects such as the Guggenheim Museum, that was called into question. It is the risky use of ‘urban flagships’ in a context of serious decline, as much as the subsequent political discourses built up around ‘success stories’ which stress that these are the key to prosperity, that were and still are in dispute.3 The visitor number has since fluctuated but rarely dips under 900,000 per year (Anderson & Nurick, 2002).

Spain’s largest port and fourth-largest city, the population of metropolitan Bilbao is 905,866. As the economic and financial capital of the Basque Country, Bilbao’s gross national product (GNP) per habitant is 95% of the European Union average and 120% of the average of Spain as a whole. Founded in 1300, Bilbao reached peak prosperity during the industrial revolution and remained Spain’s northern capital of steel and shipping up until 1975, when the recession struck and turned it into a decaying backwater. Between 1979 and 1985, almost 25% of the in-

the local entrepreneurs’ pride, undermined

by both the economic crisis and the violence of the ETA(ETAis a terrorist group that demands separation of the Basque Country from

tourism (the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts, the

Archaeological-Ethnographic Museum, two symphonic orchestras, a theater, and twom-

ovie theaters) and unpleasant weather (the meter). Moreover, the city lacked a positive

image as a consequence of industrial depra-

vation and the terrorism of the ETA. Nor did the Basque authorities comprehend the tourism potential of the region before, either by improving the promotion of Guernica,1 the

fine cuisine of the Basque region, its natural setting, or even its proximity to Pamplona, the

city of the fiesta par excellence, made famous by Ernest Hemingway.

The plan also includes a transportation hub James Stirling, a new airport by architect and

analysis aims to distinguish the Guggenheim effect from others and validate KPMG’s estimates. The Durbin-Watson and Lung-Box tests

are used to check serial autocorrelation. Apparent autocorrelation may be caused by functional misspecification, either by the inappropriate functional form or by the omission of a

relevant explanatory variable (Crouch 1994). The fitted relationships are presented in Tables

KPMG’s study is biased upward. As far as the overnight stays are concerned, a one-visitor increase to the Guggenheim leads to a 0.284

increment in the amount of overnight stays. This means that 27,842 overnight stays of the total 55,459 average increment per month are attributed to the museum, that is, a significant 50% of the growth. As a consequence, the level

of occupation of the hotels has improved from a 37.8% average to a higher 46.6%. In the case

of foreign tourism, the Guggenheim explains 42.7% of the increment, whereas the effect on

the overnight stay of Spaniards rises to 58%. Interestingly, occupancy indices are considerably higher for the top-end range of the hotels

(85%), whereas the average level remains low

(46.6%). This attests to the nature of tourism that Bilbao is generating. A significant portion of the museum attendees is concentrated in the

upper end of the income scale and is therefore in a position to incur high expenses with the

corresponding multiplying effects in the city.

research requests a more market-segmented approach to delimit more accurately the influence of each motivation, including the role

In conclusion, the Guggenheim Museum Bil-

bao is having a significant positive impact on Bilbao due to the museum’s capacity for at-

tracting tourists. However, we should raise the interesting question as to whether a large

internationally famous cultural artifact of this type may be subject to the product life cycle.

Tate Modern is an example of the economic benefits that urban regeneration can bring.

Ironically it could be said that the 1943 County of London Plan, with its visionary aim of

banishing industry and regenerating Bankside for recreational purposes was achieved 60 years after it was first proposed.

The power station was built in two stages, between 1947 and 1963 on the bankside in London where had the reputation as a debauched

and squalid area, packed with brothels, bearbaiting pits. The planning process was characterised by a tension between the conflicting

needs of electrical power and amenity, but approval for the power station was ultimately

crisis-driven as a result of the national fuel

supply problems of 1947. But the power sta-

tion didn’t remain useful for long - and was closed in 1981 after just 29 years of electricity

generation. The hike in oil prices in the 70’s

meant that other forms of electricity produc-

tion became more cost-effective, rendering Bankside an expensive white elephant.

Economic and environmental issues led to

the eventual closure of Bankside in 1981 and, more generally, the relocation of power stations outside urban areas. For 13 years, Bankside Power Station remained empty, until the Tate Modern acquired the site in 1994. The

reuse of an industrial building exemplified

by the transformation of Bankside power station to the Tate Modern gallery can be seen

tice of art galleries in the contemporary city.

Aside from anything else, such galleries are planned to be accessible and inclusive to all-

comers, physically and intellectually, as well as culturally. It has been argued that modern art, being shorn from some of the weight of

cultural inheritance of western history and

education, is in essence more accessible and egalitarian; however, as Stoner Sanders (1999) has shown, this can be an excuse for another

form of ‘soft power’ and cultural dominance. From a purely urban planning and architectural perspective, Tate Modern represents the

new breed of cavernous warehouse galleries,

retrofitted into an old industrial shell, which is itself symbolic of urban and economic trans-

formation and re-use. The fact that it is located away from the existing South Bank cultural complex and quite clearly off the tourist trail

on a Brownfield site in a poor part of London is significant Transforming Tate Modern.

In Japan, there is a small island has changed

to Cultural place after big industries had left.

This small town called Naoshima was almost dead town before 20 years ago, but now

300,000 visitors come to this small town to see Ando Tadato’s museum and Art village. This visitors increased six times during last

6 years, and this visitors are one hundreds times larger than local population.

Naoshima is a small island(8.13 km2) with a population of 3,300 people (2010), 5km away

from Tokyo. Naoshima was industrial town. The main industries of Naoshima was metal

refineries by Mitsubishi Materials. Mitsubishi Material Corporation’s refinery factory

in Naoshima launched their operation in the fleet located in the north of Naoshima in

1918. Naoshima is geographically separated from major urban centres and is politically,

economically, and culturally marginal travel

industry (43,000 visitors per year, mostly during summer vacation near seaside) and fishing and cultivation of marine products such

as yellowtail and seaweed4. Naoshima’s employed population by industries consists of the primary industries 8.6 percent, secondary

industries 8.6 percent and tertiary industries 4. Yuji Akimoto (2002) / Placing Art: a Colloquium on Public Art in Rural, Coastal and Small Urban Environments Editored by Liam Kelly , Mary McDonag P. 51~58 / Co-published by Sligo County Council and Sligo Borough Council.

46.3 percent (2000)5.

Japan was the world’s leading producer

of copper at that time, and Mitsubishi was bringing in copper ore from the mines around

the country such as Yoshioka mine in Okayama Prefecture, and refining the copper ore. They later began to refine royal metals such as

gold and silver, and became the Asia’s lead-

ing producer of gold. Mitsubishi’s copper refinery expanded its business to occupy approximately 20% of the land area of Teshima

Island and labor of the island. At its peak, during 60s and 70s nearly half of the islanders, 7,000 of them engaged in the works related to the refinery such as discharging and car-

rying of cargo. However, Japan turned to an importer after the end of the war since cheap copper began to enter the Asian market from

the United States. Naoshima copper refinery and its affiliated companies had to downscale their business.

The population of Naoshima Town gradually

decreased from the peak year 7,842(1959), and is now 3,300 (2010). It has been a long time

since the metal refining industry in Japan lost its international competitiveness, and Mitsubishi Material Naoshima had to consider the withdrawal from Naoshima.

4-3-2. Challenge to An Island of Art After the Benesse Company, a publishing firm centered in Okayama, announced innovative project called ‘Benesse Art site Naoshima’. it

took over the southern half of the island in

1985, working with the then-mayor Chikat-

sugu Miyake, it called in the minimalist Ando

and invited him to design a huge swatch of natural park to be an international centre of

art. Rising to the opportunity – surely any architect’s dream – he opened Benesse House in

1992, then created a Benesse House Museum

(with hotel rooms on the second and third floors) up the road, and then built what is

now known as the Oval, a James Bondian series of six more rooms for guests on the top of a mountain behind the museum, reached by

private monorail. In 2004, he completed the

Chichu Museum which is a 20-minutes walk away.

Art house Project (家プロジェクト) and Chichu Museum(地中美術館) first. And now the project is still on going, Naoshima has changed to

Museum Town which are Teshima Museum, Inujima Museum.

The Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum opened in July of 1992 by architect Tadao

Ando. The main gallery is underground, and the building is surrounded by thick vegeta-

tion. The space is more than a receptacle for art; it actively responds to the surrounding environment, the light and air, the sea and the forested hills. The natural environment and

the concrete structures come together to create

a scene of great beauty and express spiritual

qualities. Tadao Ando’s masterpiece started to make Naoshima famous. In the same time, ‘The Art House Project’ in Naoshima was

conceived as an extension of the museum’s ongoing practice of commissioning works at

82.

the museum. The main site for the project is

Honmura, an old section of the town of Haoshima that has played a central role in the

community throughout its history. Honmura, the village that is home to the Art House Project. A small number of houses in the village have been bought by the Benesse Corporation

and given over to contemporary artists to use

as showcases for original works of art. The Art House Project differs from other commissioned works in scale and in the way it brings

out the special meaning of the site. Each house chosen for the project is changed through the work of a single artist, a process that draws at-

tention to the unique culture of the Honmura area and adds meanings to the house, making it more relevant to the present.

In today’s Japan, there is a skewed concentration of population in the large cities. As culture is disseminated from these urban centres,

regional cultures and customs are rapidly dis-

integrating. This same process is occurring in Naoshima, so the purpose of this project is to provide a fresh perspective on these disap-

pearing elements of local culture and customs and use art to revitalize the community.

And on Mistubishi’s formal copper refinery site, Inujima Art Project Seirensho preserves

and reuses the remains of a copper refinery on the island. Based on the concept of using the existing to create the yet-to-be, the project

brings together architecture by Hiroshi Sambuichi, which makes use of the existing smoke-

stacks and karami bricks from the refinery and uses solar, geothermal, and other natural

energies to reduce the burden on the environment, and art by Yukinori Yanagi, which uses Yukio Mishima, who sounded warnings over aspects of Japan’s modernization, as a motif.

The building also employs a sophisticated water purification system that makes use of the


power of plants. The project truly embraces

4-4. Dundee’s ‘Cultural Quarter’ , Scotland, United Kingdom 6

Dundee is on the east coast of Scotland and is home to over 145,000 residents, making

it the fourth largest city in the country (Scot Public Health Observatories, 2008). From major European trading port in the 16th century

to world-leading industrial hub in the 19th century. There has been a severe contraction

of traditional industries. Dundee is a city in which industrial and corporate restructuring

has resulted in the extreme contraction of tra-

ditional industrial sectors. Hence by the 1980s, large areas of the city had become physically redundant, and unemployment in the city was

continuing to increase. These factors exacerbated a broader trend of out-migration from

ning approach against which to consider and

mote cultural quarters, other cities may be less inclined to focus on local identity, distinc-

tiveness and character or taking community interest into account and linking with other

initiatives as opposed to adopting a “singular project” approach (such as maintaining the

city centre) (Evans, 2003). In so doing such Cultural Quarters may serve only to achieve

U.K-wide homogeneity rather than promot-

ing distinctiveness thereby reducing a city’s attractiveness – the original aim of regeneration in the first place. 7

Historically, the City’s maritime location and its harbour were crucial to trade and successful business. However, with the decline and

loss of its docklands in the middle of the 20th century, the City lost its fundamental connection to the water. Although the City still carries

some of the legacy of a post-industrial city, its

new image is being forged from the high regard that international academic and creative

organisations have for its recent outputs in the knowledge and arts sectors.

Seguin is the former site of a Renault car facthe Île Seguin was practically uninhabited. Although there were some dwellings, the island was still largely a draw for anglers, oars-

men and hunters. The then factory of Louis Renault stood directly opposite the island and

so he decided that it would be a good idea to buy it to turn it into a place of rest and relaxation for his workers. In 1919 he began the pro-

cess of acquiring the island by buying a small parcel of land on it. In 1929, Louis Renault set

a hotel, and a school will be built between them, but public green space will take prior-

ity. The planning team is aiming to use 100% renewable energy.

To make it happen, high-profile architect Jean

Nouvel has been brought on board to coordinate the efforts of a team of architects. Nouvel has designed agreen tower (without hallways) for Los Angeles and the unusual Quai Branly Museum in Paris.

the time it is completed in 2017, ‘Île Seguin – Rives de Seine will be a much loved and environmentally friendly modern City district. Its

660.000 m² of overall usable space will have been divided into 350,000 m² of living space, 225,000 m² of offices and 85,000 m² of recreational, open and commercial space.

By the end of 2010, some 2,000 apartments and 80,000 m² of office space will be readily

available, accommodating up to 4,000 inhab-

itants and a similar number of office workers. The proposed redevelopment of the site laid

out by the architects Ateliers Jen Nouvel, en-

was aware of its historical context, lending the whole scheme a clear direction as a development.

the Paris suburb could be held up as a model for urban design made for people, with the environment in mind. But what is the value

of a pre-packaged area as opposed to organic

urban development? We’ve raised eyebrows before at questionable plans to create brandnew “green” communities in the suburbs.

Mat has argued that containing urban sprawl

is more important than flashy green build-

ings. He quotes Stephen Platt of Cambridge Architectural Research: “The key problem is

making this a long-term socially acceptable place where people will want to live and prosper.”

Nouvel’s team has put sustainable development at the core of the project without los-

ing sight of the fact that they’re designing a space for people to live, work and play. While

Boulogne-Bilancourt is a suburb, it is more dense than sprawling. The project is based on

renovating an already-developed (and abandoned) area; it is not breaking new ground.

As the French President Nicolas Sarkozy put it, this is a project that will become an ‘island

of all the arts’ a figurehead for the Grand Paris that will point a dynamic way ahead for the economy of the area. Much of this revival will stem from a new transport plan including the

new automatic Metro and a programme of regeneration that includes: a hothousing of tal-

ent to showcase the area on an international stage; growth based on innovation in the in-

dustrial and service sectors; specialisations in


these sectors for the immediate area but also for the whole region; synergy between specialists from a number of areas to encourage

interdisciplinary research and development as a driver of innovation. The whole Vallée de

la Culture project is intended to lend a new dynamic to the whole region. Carried out under the auspices of the Department Hautsde-Seine, the project aims to revive the area along the Seine, by focussing on culture, the environment and accessibility. It is exactly this philosophy that is being applied to the Ile Seguin project. It will in fact become part of a cultural quarter, that also includes the Tour aux Figures by jean Dubuffet, Hangar Y in Meudon, the state factory and the state ceramic museum of Sèvres, the 1930s museum and the garden museum Albert Kahn von Boulogne-Billancourt. This cultural quarter is developing new attractions all the time, such as the Belmondo Museum that can be found in the Chateau Buchillot von Boulogne-Billancourt. The area is also dotted with parks and rec-

reation areas including the municipal Park of Île Saint-Germain, the Parc du Trapèze, the water sports centre and the Île de Monsieur, the Parc de Saint-Cloud, the Parc Edmond de Rothschild or the park at Chateau Suresnes. A great many places for people to kick back and take a deep breath. The underlying concept of the Vallée de la Culture is a perfect fit with the challenges, vision and philosophy of Grand Paris, in the way it presents a unique opportunity to bind the various communities together using the same dynamics at the same time as strengthening the cultural life on the Ile-de-France. The Ile Seguin is one of a kind, an indicator of what the future holds for Grand Paris, one that is both innovative and life affirming. Thanks to both its history and location, the island has long cast its shadow over this particular area of Paris. The redevelopment of the island remains true to this tradition, maintaining the uniqueness of island while respecting the needs of the environment. Every element of the project from the banks of the Seine to the roofs of its buildings, is

somehow linked to the river, from the hills of Meudon to the Trapeze neighbourhood in Boulogne-Billancourt, all part of the scheme for Grand Paris. The project is based on understated and low profile structural elements that extend from the river through the parks and other public places. On the basis of this horizontal structure, we find a range of objects worked into the island’s surroundings. The project embraces a number of functions and potential uses, each based on ideas of culture and innovation. It is this that brings Ile Seguin to life, opens it up to the whole population, helps it to drive Grand Paris and justifies the opening up of new public transport systems. The facets of the programme should ensure that it attracts a diverse range of people, taking advantage of the chance to meet among the islands various attractions. The Ile Seguin drives innovation in the way it creates new living conditions. You can choose to visit the island to view a new video installation, to spend time along the banks of the Seine or in the new parts of the city, to work in buildings in which the positive energy is palpable, or to enjoy unique cultural locations such as the bioclimatic gardens or just to gauge for yourself how the regeneration of the city has worked out.

5. Culture-led renovation of Lingotto

5-1. History and Present of Lingotto: Landmark of Italian Industry Lingotto was a factory of FIAT which was an

icons of success in the past of Turin. Lingotto district in Via Nizza was a huge automobile factory constructed by Fiat. Built from 1916 and opened in 1923, the design by Matté

Trucco. It was the largest car factory in the world at that time. For its time, the Lingotto

building was avante-garde, influential and impressive—Le Corbusier called it “one of the most impressive sights in industry”, and “a guideline for town planning”.

When the Fiat factory opened for business the production line was originally designed to go

upward through the five stories. The five sto-

ry building featured a simple loop rooftop test

track with two banked turns that consumed a 1620 foot x 280 foot portion of rooftop. The de-

sign for the Lingotto Building was unusual in that it had five floors, with raw materials go-

ing in at the ground floor, and cars built on a line that went up through the building. At the

top, Giovanni Agnelli, grandfather of the late

94.

Gianni, built a rooftop racetrack to test some of the cars coming off the line.

Unlike any other automobile factory to date, the factory featured a spiral assembly line that moved up through the building and a concrete banked rooftop test track. The test

track’s banked turns were constructed from

an intricate series of concrete ribs in a con-

struction technique that had not been used frequently before Lingotto.

80 different models of car were produced

there in its lifetime, including the famous Fiat

Topolino of 1936. 1 It was the biggest automo-

bile factory Europe had ever seen and was the second largest in the world. Upon its completion Lingotto instantly became of a symbol

of Italy’s proud manufacturing history. Only Ford’s massive River Rouge Factory Complex

could compare in size and scale. Lingotto factory was one of the first buildings of its size to

rely heavily on reinforced concrete in the con-

struction process. But economy crisis in the

1970s, the factory became outmoded and the decision was made to finally close it in 1982. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingotto

the architecture, and the place (landscape as well as host community).

Firstly, the museum building, though not

technologically or aesthetically innovative, offers a unique yet intimate setting to enhance the appreciation of the exhibits.

Secondly, while many of the exhibits inside the ‘museum’ are nurtured by the ‘place’ out-

side, the museum architecture is also firmly anchored in local context, thus able to mediate the two and reinforce the continuity from inside out.

It is thus necessary to adopt: A comprehensive approach looking at the city as a whole,

Taking an advantage of SWOT analysis, Lingotto FIAT has categorized to S.O.W.T. (Fig. ) to be convert as a Museum. What is strength

and what is weakness points to push forward project? Lingotto has big potential to grow as

a visitor’s spot. First, Ligotto itself has nice architectural feature. Not many tourist visit this

area but still it has standing visitors who visit

Lingotto Fiere. If building has more attractive facilities or space, it is perfectly possible

that the scheme will work. More over Headquarter building of Regione Piemonte will

support Lingotto area socio-economically. Workers and residents and potential visitors in Regione Piemonte quarter also potential

visitors to Lingotto Fiat. Formal Olympic Vil-

business, cultural quarter may be the first price of accommodation compared to one in city center. These opportunities, in the end are already ready to boost area and the city.

By the way, transformation of Lingotto FIAT

to Museum definitely has merit from project

and environmental opportunity but undeveloped surrounding area and unsafe feeling

that environment makes during the night is threat. So strategy should establish to tighten strengths up and cover weakness. In other

words, Lingotto Museum and Olympic Village have to be properly considered. The aim

of Lingotto area is museum-central cultural quarter. Throughout S.W.O.T analysis, strat-

respect also to the arts, the world has become a global village. The way to redevelop Lin-

Museums without such major paintings are faced with problems. They have no choice but

to exhibit the superstar artists in their collection, and moreover, have to organize special 2. 3.

huge crowds due to its location and architec-

painting. It paid the enormous sum of $35.2

million to buy Pontormo’s “Cosimo I”, one of the top ten prices ever paid at an auction. This is big pressure and burden to the museum.

So some museums collect a fund from dona-

tors for their management. But few museums succeed from this. Tate Modern art gallery is a representative.

temporary exhibitions involving the concep-

tion, loan, transport and insurance, display

of paintings, opening hours and entry fees, advertising, as well as access. Offering a “total experience” requires that museums provide for everything, not unlike entertainment

parks. The activities offered extend beyond cafés, restaurants and museum shops. Many superstar museums have already gone far in this direction. The Louvre, for example, opened a

commercial precinct called “Le Carrousel du

Louvre”. The floor space below Pei’s pyramid extends without interruption into a large un-

7. Fosting Cultural Quarters

7-1. Sustainable Development “Making the city” The matter is about trans-

forming with the city and not transforming the city, having clear with whom we act, with whom negotiate the rules for an inclusive use of public spaces to generate opportunities within the city. The historical cities are

born identifying spaces devoted to relations:

squares, markets, parks which thus are the el-

ements which formed the arena of residents’ relations.

Sustainable development as it relates to the preservation of cultural resources. This marks

assumed the obligation to maintain some sort of territorial balance also. Winter Olympic village and facilities locate in the Lingottocentric area, is behind the times compared to other

areas. The development of cultural quarters

provide a variety of opportunities which can facilitate events development. This relates to, for example, the creation of venues and city

spaces defined for cultural activities. However, these investments also bring a set of critical challenges which are often linked to strategic

development, cultural planning and the local authority approach.

As an institution, Tate Modern has been very

active, and arguably very successful, in its

outreach and inclusion activities. It plays a significant role in its locality, working closely

with other employers businesses and community organisations. It has been actively

involved in developing employment oppor-

tunities for local people in the Cultural Sector (Arts Training Trust), in tourism and marketing initiatives (Bankside Marketing Group)

and the development of the business sector (Better Bankside, Bankside Business)

7-2. Cultural Quarter The idea of the ‘cultural quarter’ has re-

mained popular into the 2000’s and has helped to produce the offshoot concept of the

cultural cluster since the 1990’s (Green, 1996; McCarthy, 2005; 2006). Cities with success-

ful cultural cluster developments will have

a competitive advantage over rivals as these networks provide socially embedded knowledge, identity-formation and experiences of sharing. Proximity to these channels of social

capital is good for collaborative work, which is characteristic of the creative industries.

Cultural quarters or cultural clusters mean

the areas that contain a high proportion of

or cultural consumption and further spatial concentration, is assumed to lead to ‘synergy

effects, agglomeration economics and minimization of amenity loss’ (McCarthy, 2006).

A mixture of cultural functions and activities, from theatre and the visual arts to pop music

and the new media, are grouped together in a great variety of spatial forms.

Cultural clustering strategies seem to use culture as urban regeneration sources, enhancing the interaction between cultural activities embedded in the urban infrastructure and a

broader field of urban dynamics and linked in value chains. While some clustering strategies are restricted to genuine artistic/cultural ac-

tivities, most of them also incorporate a great variety of consumption spaces such as res-

taurants, bars, clubs and 258 ˜ 279 health and fitness complexes (Zukin, 1998). However, there are growing concerns that these cultural clustering strategies could lead to a destruction or inflation of original artistic value and

to commercialization of the spaces (Zukin,

urban design to geography, an obvious combe understood metaphorically.1

Many cities around the world have come to

recognise the economic and social benefits that flow from the creative economy, and are

implementing aggressive urban policies to nurture and promote creative and cultural ac-

tivities (Chang, 2000; Miller, 2004; O’Connor and Xin, 2006; Peck, 2005). Creative and cultural activity enhances a city’s quality as a place, helps to revitalise neighbourhoods and

shapes a city’s identity in the face of increas-

ing competition for global talents (Rofe, 2004; Scott, 2006). Howkins (2001, 114-115) argues

that cultural richness and embedded diversi-

ty is a crucial element for the creative space. It is also about producing new forms and ways of interactive creative editing, working from the existing cultural fabric in the society.

The concept of the creative city grew out of cultural quarter policies, fusing with tourism and other ‘flagship projects’ (Artfield, 1999; McCarthy, 2005a; Mommaas, 2004).

In conclusion, the hypothesis of the conver-

gence of the cultural districts on the same institutional model will be supported.

The image of a city, in the sense of the gen-

eral meaning and idea of a place, is formed not only by visual images, but also by many

other elements. Contributions to the study

of urban images (and of the sense of place in general) highlight aspects relating to the sym-

bols embodied in the material components of the city (roads, monuments, and buildings) as well as to many immaterial components . 2

industrial districts: place, culture, and economy are symbiotic, particularly in some key cities (Scott, 2000). This is an important topic

for businesses and economic actors in general

in both the manufacturing and service economies; the more the specific cultural and economic identities of cities make their presence

known on the landscape, the more they can exploit monopoly powers of place.

7-4. Business Quarter: Regione Piemonte 2015 Regione Piemonte is a headquarter office building of Piemonte Region. It is expected to be done in 2015 by Italian Architect Massimiliano Fuksas.

City’s road map towards a new economy based on innovation, a high quality of life,

and attracting business and talent is becom-

ing more and more defined and distinctive. The City of Torino, in order to achieve a better urban structure and functional area have

agreed to build Regional headquarter building on Oval Olympic area which is on adjacent property area of RFI(Rete Ferroviaria

Italiana: Rail Line of Italy) and Lingotto Fiere. Italian Famous Architect, Massimiliano Fuksas launched his design project in 2007, now

it is under construction after several changes of plan.

The total transformation area is ​​371,350 m² includes the current FIAT Oval (2,500m²),

cludes, perhaps problematically, office and residential space.

Sure tourists usually have no desire to visit financial center of government office; although,

as visits to Wall street demonstrate, some-

times they do. But the opposite is not the case: even those who work in finance or office have a few hours to off, and they may well want to go to restaurant and clubs that are also fre-

that no tourist would want to visit. Consider quite low land and residence prices of Ligotto area, Regione Piemonte project gives vitality and downtown possibility on the area.

The leisure and entertainment attractions that

tourist cities used to entice pleasure seekers

can also appeal to bankers and consultants that work in the procedure-service industries associated with the global economy3.

Building was public vegetable market before and used as a international commercial center during the Olympic games. This public facility is under use now. City of Torino can lend this facility to boost city’s aim to make Torino as a design and cultural city.

Amateur or young Artists can open their atelier and sell their product and local people or visitors who arrive Lingotto to satisfy their thirsty toward Art and design. This method contribute modern design and art boom; Torino recently is rising up as contemporary center in Itlay. And for this trends, city grows artist and create jobs. And as social-effect, action will vitalize on dead area last over 5 years, locals will have gathering point not only for the tourists.

• Action on olympic residential: Hostel and Residence (Renting and Selling) Olympic residential consists of 657 units and divided three lots. Whole village was designed to accommodate 2,492 visitors and have 618 single rooms and 937 double rooms together, Lot 3 is currently under transforming to hostel by municipality, it will accommodate tourists in 196 units and under shift to hostel inside.

Rest of 2 lots are still under considering, these 2 units can be shift to the social housing or student residence. Actually when it was built in 2006, municipality was thinking to reuse as a student residence. But additionally, assuming to transform Lingotto to the cultural area and cultural market function on Moi ex-mercati, these residential can be lent to artist who works in the same area as like New York Soho or Marais district in Paris. There are many cases artist gallery and their housing create new cultural zone. What is better is that already village was designed colorful modern design and all apartments have different shapes and façades. Also location is very closed to public transportation, and will have better transportation line later. Residents are expected to have enough demands. It seems area is ready to shift to new cultural district. if municipality rent or sell empty apartments it brings income to the city and workers so student get a merit from their residence in active and vitalized environment.

Feasibility Analysis

Lingotto museum and culture-led regeneration project is challeging project

to city. It requires huge sums of money to finance, as far as city invests heavily into the project, the project should be investigated economically and financially to evaluate potential it has. Feasibility analysis help to discriminate investment value of a project expect and expect cost flows of the project. This chapter illustrate how to determine ‘Real Estate Investment’and explain tools to evaluate project value and asset value.

is the estimation of how large the total investment cost will be. The investment outlays

can be planned for several initial years and

some non-routine maintenance or replacement costs in more distant years. Thus we

need to define a time horizon. By time horizon, we mean the maximum number of years

for which forecasts are provided. Forecasts

regarding the future of the project should be

formulated for a period appropriate to its economically useful life and long enough to encompass its likely mid-to-long term impact.


Although the investment horizon is often in-

to consider are the incremental cash disburse-

definite, in project analysis it is convenient to all the assets and all the liabilities are virtually liquidated simultaneously.

Conceptually, it is at that point that one can cost up the accounts and verify whether the

investment was a success. This procedure entails choosing a particular time horizon. The

choice of time horizon may have an extremely important effect on the results of the appraisal

process and may also affect the determination of the EU co-financing rate.

For the Lingotto Museum(Cultural Space) project 30 years; for productive investments, and again indicatively, it is about 10 years.

Nevertheless, the time horizon should not be so long as to exceed the economically useful

life of the project. This problem may be resolved by using a standard grid, differentiated by sector and based on some internationally acceptedpractices, in which reference time horizons are provided, which can be applied

to the type of investment being examined.

assets: land, buildings, machinery, etc. The residual value of the fixed investment must

be included within the fixed investment costs account for the end-year with opposite sign

(negative if the others are positive), because it is considered as an inflow.

In this project, building and land are already

exisiting and owned by FIAT group, so fixed investment cost are not included. Museum building will be renewed to new function, so construction cost is needed.

Construction cost by functions and sum costs of construction is 369,735,033.97 euro. Each project costs calculated by Cost & Revenue

9-2-2-3 CHANGES IN WORKING CAPITAL In some types of projects, particularly in the

productive sector, the initial investment in working capital is sizeable. Net working capital is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Its increase over

one period of time corresponds to an investment outlay. The estimation depends on the

analysis of demand for credit from customers or other users of the service, on technological

and business information on average stocks needed, on information on the credit usually offered by suppliers and on the assumption about the cash needed over time. Current assets include: • receivables; • stocks at every stage of the production process; • cash and other net short term liquidity. Current liabilities include mainly accounts

payable to suppliers (but do not include mid

146.

to long term debts to suppliers of machinery).

It should be observed that, like current assets

and current liabilities, the net working capital

is by nature a fund: in order to be transformed into a flow, only the year-on-year increments should be considered.

These increments will obviously be sizeable at

the beginning, when stocks and other compo-

nents need to be built-up for the first time, and subsequently they will stabilize or they may even diminish: in which case there will, respectively, be no further investments in working capital or there will be dis-investments.

9-2-3. Total operating costs and revenues The second step in financial analysis is the calculation of the total operating costs and revenues (if any).

9-2-3-1. OPERATING COSTs

size of expected Musum of Lingotto, number

of staffs and wages are on the similar level of other museums2. These components together comprise the bulk of the operating costs. In

of FNPV(C) and FNPV(K), which should be

calculated before deductions. The rationale is to avoid the complexity and variability across

operating costs and revenues, the next logical of the financial return on investment.. The in-

dicators needed for testing the project’s finan-

cial performance are:

• the financial net present value of the project (FNPV), and

• the financial internal rate of return (FRR).

The financial net present value is defined as

the sum that results when the expected investment and operating costs of the project

(suitably discounted) are deducted from the discounted value of the expected revenues:

For instance, inside of museum there must

be restaurant or book shops and bars to support visitors needs. And apart from museum,

there are office leasing, long-term renting for hotels, and public parking lot, and restaurant

and bars. These kind of service facilities create additional profits so should be analyzed. This revenue will be determined by the forecasts of

the quantities of services provided and by the relative prices and the financial analysis with operating revenue. .The following items are

Where St is the balance of cash flow at time t (net cash flow, Tables 2.5 and 2.8) and at is the

financial discount factor chosen for discounting at time t.

The financial internal rate of return is defined as the discount rate that produces a zero FNPV:

• Costs and benefits should be net of VAT. Other indirect taxes should be included only if they are charged to the investor. • any other subsidies (transfers from other authorities, etc.); About evaluation of this revenue, next chapter will put flesh on Cost and Revenue analysis in moredetail.

148.

The calculation of the financial return on in-

vestment (Table 9.3) measures the capacity of the net revenues to remunerate the investment cost.

More specifically, the financial net present

value, FNPV(C), and the financial rate of re-

turn, FRR(C), on the total investment cost, measure the performance of the investment

independently of the sources or methods of financing. The FNPV is expressed in money

the years considered. The difference between incoming and outgoing flows will show the deficit or surplus that will be accumulated each year. The incoming flows include:

• any possible revenues for the sale of goods and services; • the net cash from the management of financial resources. Loan is here an inflow and it is treated as a financial resource coming from third parties.

The amount shown is a rough indicative esti-

mation. The dynamics of the incoming flows are measured against the outgoing flows. These are related to:

The economic analysis can be seen in the

framework of ‘Microeconomics’ and ‘Macro economics’.

Microeconomics looks at the smaller picture

and focuses more on basic theories of supply

and demand and how individual businesses decide how much of something to produce

and how much to charge for it. People who have any desire to start their own business or who want to learn the rationale behind the

pricing of particular products and services would be more interested in this area . 3

For example, on Microeconomics view, Lin-

gotto museum will generally raise quality of the zone and total yields an interesting pic-

ture of interrelations beween residential, labor market, services, and touristsm and so on . 4

Macroeconomics, on the other hand, looks at the big picture (hence “macro”). It focuses on the national economy as a whole and pro-

vides a basic knowledge of how things work in the business world. For example, people

who study this branch of economics would be able to interpret the latest Gross Domestic Product figures or explain why a 6% rate of

unemployment is not necessarily a bad thing.

framework. A discussion of the assessment of environmental impact goes beyond the scope of this Guide, but CBA and environmental im-

pact analysis raise similar issues. They should be considered in parallel and, whenever pos-

sible should be integrated: this would imply

giving, if possible, a conventional accounting value to environmental costs.

These may be very crude estimates: however they may capture at least the most relevant

environmental costs. For a more detailed discussion on methodologies for the monetisation of environmental impacts see annex E.

Accounting value of public sector owned capital assets Many projects in the public sec-

tor use capital assets and land, which may be stateowned or purchased from the general Government budget. Capital assets, includ-

ing land, buildings, machinery and natural resources should be valued at their opportunity cost and not at their historical or official accounting value.

This has to be done whenever there are alter-

native options in the use of an asset, and even if it is already owned by the public sector. If

there is no related option value, past expenditures or irrevocable commitments of public funds are not social costs to be considered in the appraisal of new projects. 5. http://www.investopedia.com/

10-1-1. Cost and Revenue Analysis

Building Costs are estimated by production costs analysis. All construction costs estimated by reference of ‘ordine degli Ingeneri della Provincia di Milano’.

Lingotto Museum is renovation project but Sometimes Renovation project consume higher capital more than new building construction costs. So here project assumed as constructing new building. Whole preliminary construction estimation is 369,735,033.87 Euro. Categories are divided to twelve categories.

Market Price analysis of Museum Figure of Visitors shows total visitors in Torino 2010 Paying: visitors who pay for the ticket Not paying: Children, over 60 years old, disabled ect. Here we can see around 40% of visitors pay for ticket. So we can expect profit from 40% of expected visitors. And main five most visited museum prices are all different. Average price of Museum ticket is 8.5 euro. For Lingotto Museum’s price I assumed 7 euro enterence fees.

(Euro)

Operating Costs of Museum For the maintenance of museum, staffs, for example museum manager and director and technicians are needed. From members in ‘Egyptian Museum’ and ‘Cinema Museum’ case study, considering the size of Lingotto, it assumed minimum 24 staffs Lingotto will have.

People: Director, Manager, Executives, Technical and employees, Promoters Maintenance : Board of directors, Board of statutory auditors, Scientific committee Marketing: Website design, Website maintenance, Marketing and advertising Operating management : Administration, Utilities, Cleaning, External supervisors, others.

Number of expected visitors are asuumed by 2010’s Torino five popular museum’s average for the first year. And we expect 25% visitors growth every year.

10-1-4. HP option 1 Fisrt Analysis show all NPV results are negative.

Project is assumed half leasing and half self management. Any economical aid is not provided.

When Lingotto rent its space to the outside( 50% self-management, 50% rent offices and trade exhibition center) profit it gains less.

NPV with financial cost (banking loan or financial support) and without financial cost are all negative.

All the results indicate to find another investment method or operating management.

10-1-5. HP option 2 To switch negative NPV of option 1, another strategy has analysed on option 2.

Alternative strategy has more self-management space. While

option 1 assumed; that parking lot is operated by outside firm as a separate business , option 2 shift option 1’s renting parking lot to self-managing operation. As a result self-management’s parking raise annual income and NPV turns back to positive.

But results are still satisfied to invest. And positive NPV needs financial costs.
