Cultural Plans

Cultural planning at the local level has become a means for cities to identify the needs of their cultural sectors, set goals to meet these needs, define strategies and tactics, and meaningfully engage the public on issues related to arts and culture.Though there is no one definition or set of parameters for the drafting of a cultural plan, plans produced for and by individual municipalities can serve a number of goals, including economic development, developing civic capacity and social inclusion, and meaningfully defining local identity.
